PHP or MYSQL H-E-L-P!

[SoopaStar]

I am trying to install a blog software on my server. The software I am using is:
http://www.cafuego.net/download.php

blog location:
http://veedubb.com/blog/

I thought I configured the items correctly, but keep getting this error. I'm not sure what to do beyond this. MySQL is running with the database i imported that came with the software.

Let me know what kind of info you need to know. This is the first time I have used mysql. I am running win32 apache 1.3 and win32 mysql with myphpadmin. All are from www.instantservers.com.

You need to change the file permissions on the php files, and allow the webserver user/process to read and executable for the website files .

its windows, there aren't users like in unix/linux... ?

You have to allow IUSR_ComputerName Read/Write/Execute If you are using IIS you hae to do it twice. Once in IIS and once in the Direwctory Structure in Windows Explorer.

Duh! Edit ~ You arnt using IIS. But you still have to allow edit/write/execute. You can do it through FTP CHMOD the files to 777. Or whatever the directions with your Blog say to. It is usually two directories in the folder housing the blog.Mine Works! (http://www.ravensrealm.net/blog/)

Sorry had to plug my site! ;)

all the files are set to 777

Okay, I think part of my problem may be in the htaccess file. (?). Here is what mine looks like:
<Directory C:/internet/miniportal/Apache/htdocs/VeeDubb.com/docs/blog>
php_value open_basedir C:/internet/miniportal/Apache/htdocs/VeeDubb.com/docs/blog
php_value include_path ".:C:/internet/miniportal/Apache/htdocs/VeeDubb.com/docs/blog/lib:C:/internet/miniportal/Apache/htdocs/VeeDubb.com/docs/blog/inc"
php_flag register_globals off
php_flag magic_quotes_gpc off
</Directory>

From the install directions:
Edit either your own .htaccess or your apache config file or whatever web server you use so that the same variables are set on your blog directory.

I am thinking that it isn't picking up the include_path from this file? Can I just stick this .htaccess file I have created in the base dir (/docs/blog) and it works or is there something I have to configure in the httpd.conf file?

Thanks
Paul

got it working. was an htaccess issue and the way the programmer assumed all the files were based off the root of the server. don't think i like this blogger much. will find another.
