setup for paths

Post by **Oliver Georgi** » Tue 4. May 2004, 20:41

If you think you have problems setting up right paths in conf.inc.php please check that file in your www root:

http://www.phpwcms.de/support/document_root.zip
[UPDATE] you have to unzip the file

By using info produced by that script you might solve DOCUMENT_ROOT problems on IIS machines and on some *NIX systems with paths like http://www.mysite.com/~wastepath/here

Don't know if this is related, but installing in sub-subdir under Apache2 (for testing), installation shows:

system: Windows NT ALLEYKAT 5.1 build 2600
server: Apache/2.0.48 (Win32) PHP/4.3.6
php: v4.3.6 <- yeah my own UniServer - running with mmcache 2.4.6!

path: W:/www/ole/phpwcms

phpwcms path values
phpwcms root: olephpwcms <- tiny error here, should have been ole/phpwcms

Rest works like a dream!

maybe the problem exists only there - no real problem

You mean in sub-sub-dir?

Ofcourse this is no problem at all for me (or I wouldn't have been such a happy poster), this was just to help you fix it, to prevent future problems and wasted explanation time on forum

After giving it a little thought, i don't really think these things are related, just a small error on it's own, this. As seen from the (good idea) info box on the pages, theres no problem seeing correct path. Split off my post and stuff it into the Bugs forum where it belongs.

no problem - this is just a info

But I think I have fixed it - maybe it is because of the IIS.

(or throw changelog-link after me and spank me, 'cause I've been BAD again!)

files in setup folder: index.php, setup.php

hello

what you done is right!
if you have an domain with an ~ then configure in the conf.inc.php your path this way!!

Code: Select all

// site values
$phpwcms["site"]              = "http://www.domain.de/~blabla/'";
$phpwcms["admin_email"]       = "";

// paths
$phpwcms["root"]              = "";

you have to check what your $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] is. Based on that you have to choose. Most times it's better to use:

Code: Select all

$phpwcms['site'] = 'http://www.mysite.com/~username/';
$phpwcms['root'] = '';

add in conf.inc.php:

Code: Select all

$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] = '/home/path/~username';

Oliver is it possible that phpwcms does not work on a different port than 80?

Post by **Oliver Georgi** » Mon 7. Jun 2004, 22:06

Normally no problem.

Because the port number is part of the URL
$phpwcms['site'] = 'http://www.mysite.com:80/';
