cmps_index.php in root problem.

[seaslash]

Hi my problem is, i installed vbadanced in /forums where my forum root is. I then tried to put my cmps_index.php in the / so that the first thing they come to is that (yes i renamed it to index.php, yes and changed it in the default in the admin cp). I know there is nothing wrong with my installation because once i moved the cmps_index.php to the /forum it worked. I tried changing ./include and ./global to ./forum/include and ./forum/global but it still does not work. Any suggestions on what I have to do to fix this?

Thank you.

How exactly does it not work? What happens when you load the page?

[seaslash]

I get a blank page. It loads, but stays blank. Do you think it might be because I uploaded the cmps_index.php after I installed vdadvanced? Thats all I can really think of.

I'm getting a similar problem.

The only difference is that my page actually loads, however the links on the cmps_index.php page are all pointing to the root directory not the /forum directory.

I've checked my config.php and the directory in the cmps_index.php file and they are both showing the same directory for the forum.

seaslash - Sounds like your $forumpath variable in the cmps_index.php file is incorrect. Please try the suggestions in this thread and see if that helps.

Kwith - Please see this thread.

Its' powweb's stupid custom job. I honestly dont think thats the problem because if i add /forum and move it to the forum folder it works perfect.

You dont think it has anything to do with the includes it has to load?

[catcherman]

Shouldn't you have /forum no matter where the file is on your site? It's pointing to where your forums are located.

[Brian]

As catcherman said, it needs to have /forum at the end.

/home/users/web/b2740/pow.firefly09/htdocs/forum

[Brian]

That means that you've modified the file incorrectly. Can you post the contents of your cmps_index.php file here?

Here it is

PHP Code:

    chdir($forumpath);
}

$phrasegroups = array();

$actiontemplates = array();
$specialtemplates = array();

require_once('./includes/vba_cmps_include_template.php');
require_once('./global.php');

print_portal_output($home);

?>

[Brian]

Change this:

$forumpath = '/httpdocs/forum'

To this:

$forumpath = '/httpdocs/forum';

(just adding the ";" mark at the end)
