PhP Help

[mholtum]

I am running the latest version of InvisionBoards PhP Forum with no problems. I wanted to use a "portal" so I decided to install IPDynamic Lite which came with it.

I edited the files and uploaded them to my server. Then CHMODed them as needed.


I activated IPDynamic Lite in the ACP and when I go to login i get this error message:

Warning: main(./forums/conf_global.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/mholtum/public_html/forums/index.php on line 104




Here is a copy of the index.php file

HELP! I am going nuts....

[Mntsnow]

Sounds like the "path" isnt set correctly...

I'm used to seeing something like

/home/mholtum/www/public_html/forums/index.php

Double check all your path statements

[mholtum]

I about killed myself trying to figure this one out. Then I finally deleted the entire forum and database and rebooted. Re-Installed the forum and created another DB and user.

Turns out that the index.php file that I uploaded to the "forums" directory, as in fact supposed to be placed in the "Public_html" directory.

As soon as I tried it Walla! It worked. Then I went out to get a beer, returned and refreshed my browser and got an error. Mike could you take a peek and see what you think?
