I'm still a little lost on a few things when it comes to installing fud.


Consider the following:

I create a directory called "fforum"

The location of "fforum" is http://www.my_site.com/fforum"

http://www.my_site.com is the path to my site, complete url

/usr/home2/my_site.com is the full directory path

http://www.my_site.com/fud is the location of the "fud_install" directory, (complete package unzipped.)


I run the install.php in step #2 get asked to provide paths to:

· server_root
· forum_data_root
· forum_www_root



Do I create these directories? Or does the install.php script create these directories?
If I create them where do I put them? Assuming I created them and used the same names would this be correct?

· server_root
· /usr/home2/my_site/fforum/server_root
· forum_data_root
· /usr/home2/my_site/ffourm/forum_data_root
· forum_www_root
· http://www.my_site.com/fforum/forum_www_root

I'm making progress but still a little lost

· server_root
· forum_data_root
· forum_www_root

Those 3 directories you must create yourself and chmod them 777 as per install script's instructions. The install script cannot create those by itself.

You were mostly correct with your paths, but they need small corrections:

· server_root = /usr/home2/my_site/fforum/forum_www_root/
· forum_data_root = /usr/home2/my_site/ffourm/forum_data_root/
· forum_www_root = http://www.my_site.com/fforum/forum_www_root/

Thanks that Helped alot!!! The instalation went very smoothly as long as I have the right directories in the right place.

For some reason my users can't register. I've had three different people try with no luck. Checked my member data base and the only members that show any type of "status" is my two accounts.

Thanks again for a great forum and the great support!!

Sure!!

http://www.scoutswest.com/fforum/www/index.php?

Take a peek at the link to "home" at the very bottom it seems broken to me.

I've read about the time problems people are having, just going to wait for a patch.

Very Happy

I've just registered, got email confirmation, confirmed the account and was able to post messages without any problems.

The bottom home link is broken because index.php files are not defined as directory indexes. I forgot to port a bug fix for this problem from 2.X alpha. I'll do so now.

Hi,

I tried to up grade my forum and got this message when I ran the script in the "read me" file:

Warning: Failed opening 'GLOBALS.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in
/usr/home2/scoutswest.com/html/fforum/www/server/oldfrm_upgrade.php on line 236
Cannot open the GLOBALS.php file, this file should be placed inside your forum's main web
directory.

Please advise, thanks for all your great support.

Is there a GLOBALS.php file inside the directory where you've placed the upgrade script? If so, what are its permissions?

Ok, I'm making a little progress, now that the upgrade file is in the correct dir. I still think some of the file premissions are messed up in my forum. Here's the latest:

Deleting old backup files
Making a backup of current files

Warning: MkDir failed (Permission denied) in /usr/home2/scoutswest.com/html/fforum/www/oldfrm_upgrade.php on line 374
Cannot make .backup directory inside /usr/home2/scoutswest.com/html/fforum/data/errors


I checked file premissions in ...oldfrm_upgrade.php and the are set to 644

the "...data" dir is 777 and the "...errors" dir is 755

Who is the owner of the errors directory, is it the webserver, if not chmod the directory 777.
