setup>step5 not reconising directories
hi O and all you other dudes,
I have been having much fun setting WCMS up. It feels like my computer needs spoon feeding this stuff in
now I have got as far as loging in as adimistrator but it then redirects me to my index.html over and over for ever+ and now i'm sad.
incedentally...
my step5 reads like a who's who on the fbi mostwanted list...
(all dirs are really/truly in the root and have the default names)
filestorage: phpwcms_filestorage FALSE (not existing)
temporary: phpwcms_tmp FALSE (not existing)
templates: phpwcms_template FALSE (not existing)
thumbnail list: thumb_list FALSE (not existing)
preview images: thumb_preview FALSE (not existing)
frontend content: content FALSE (not existing)
frontend images: images FALSE (not existing)
ftp takeover: phpwcms_ftp FALSE (not existing)
any help by anyone to help resolve my problems would really be appreciated.
thnaks in advance pSouper.

Hm there is something that makes no sense:
If you use "../" this means all folders are located here "D:\WEB SITES\LIVE Sites\wwwroot\" but think phpwcms is installed here "D:\WEB SITES\LIVE Sites\wwwroot\TINYTOTS\"
Your database host is NOT http://... -> only localhost or the IP of server.
Only "phpwcms_filestorage" and "phpwcms_ftp" can be located outside the phpwcms_root dirctory!!!! and then defined as "../".

I have seen this in the docs and wondered about it too...
1) DIR phpwcms_tmp/thumb_list 777
2) DIR phpwcms_tmp/thumb_preview 777
3) DIR phpwcms_ftp 755
4) DIR phpwcms_filestorage 777
5) DIR content/images 777
6) FILE setup/setup.conf.inc.php 666
7) FILE phpwcms_template/inc_css/frontend.css 666
FILE include/inc_conf/conf.pagelayout.inc.php 666
i'm assuming this is what you reffer too? who would i get and set these values please?
thanks again guys.

thanks for the tip Oliver - i had been trying to try things and forgot to correct it when posted DOH!.
I have dropped the ../ for mthe path names now...
$phpwcms["file_path"] "phpwcms_filestorage"; etc, etc
dropped the http:// from the localhost...
$phpwcms["db_host"] = "localhost";
stiil the same action though - love to try the permissions thing Ruben was saying just to see if it works then consider security after.

hi guys,
still no joy and i know this is probalby not pleasing you guys either but I really apreciate your help this far.
I turned on full error noticing and now have this appear on the login page...
Notice: mysql_pconnect(): SQL safe mode in effect - ignoring host/user/password information in D:\WEB SITES\LIVE Sites\wwwroot\TINYTOTS\include\inc_lib\default.inc.php on line 25
Notice: Undefined index: DOCUMENT_ROOT in D:\WEB SITES\LIVE Sites\wwwroot\TINYTOTS\include\inc_lib\default.inc.php on line 37
Notice: Undefined index: form_aktion in D:\WEB SITES\LIVE Sites\wwwroot\TINYTOTS\login.php on line 39
i wonder if any of this helps...
as I have said before - the install didn't go so smoothly so i used PHPmyAdmin and imported the two .sql files by hand.
my PHP.ini / mySQL section is....
[MySQL]
; Allow or prevent persistent links.
mysql.allow_persistent = On
; Maximum number of persistent links. -1 means no limit.
mysql.max_persistent = -1
; Maximum number of links (persistent + non-persistent). -1 means no limit.

; Default port number for mysql_connect(). If unset, mysql_connect() will use
; the $MYSQL_TCP_PORT or the mysql-tcp entry in /etc/services or the
; compile-time value defined MYSQL_PORT (in that order). Win32 will only look
; at MYSQL_PORT.
mysql.default_port =
; Default socket name for local MySQL connects. If empty, uses the built-in
; MySQL defaults.
mysql.default_socket =
; Default host for mysql_connect() (doesn't apply in safe mode).
mysql.default_host =
; Default user for mysql_connect() (doesn't apply in safe mode).
mysql.default_user =
; Default password for mysql_connect() (doesn't apply in safe mode).
; Note that this is generally a *bad* idea to store passwords in this file.
; *Any* user with PHP access can run 'echo get_cfg_var("mysql.default_password")
; and reveal this password! And of course, any users with read access to this
; file will be able to reveal the password as well.
mysql.default_password =
; Maximum time (in secondes) for connect timeout. -1 means no limimt
mysql.connect_timeout = 60
; Trace mode. When trace_mode is active (=On), warnings for table/index scans and
; SQL-Erros will be displayed.
mysql.trace_mode = On

Is this PHP install anywhere in the web or on your local PC?
Maybe - do not use spaces in paths! That may make problems.

hi again, thanks for sticking with me here guys,
I have now removed all whitespaces from my pathnames [thanks for tip]
I am getting exactly the same problem...
