I tried to install XOOPS 2.0.7 in a webhosting that using WEBppliance Pro 3.5.21-16 (made by Ensim). I have no access to their terminal, i only got a web administrator access and ftp.


I upload all XOOPS file to that web in /var/www/html/xoops_dir/

and I want XOOPS to be installed on my site: http://www.mysite.org/xoops_dir/

But I got a problem with physical path...
"There is a conflict between the detected physical path (/var/www/html/new_fcc) and the one you input."

I tried to install into /home/user/mainwebsite_html/new_fcc/ but it didnt work as well.
Note: /home/user/mainwebsite_html/new_fcc/ is same (linking) to /var/www/html/new_fcc


Also, although I enter the physical path with /home/user/mainwebsite_html/new_fcc it still says conflict path /var/www/html/new_fcc !

can someone help me ?

thx

Hi Adwin,

I have a similar configuration as you. Ensim and the WebAppliance. Slightly different version though.

I was able to install it without any troubles. Without seeing your directory structure only someone experienced with your host will be able to tell you exactly what it should be.

But I cant tell you how to find out for yourself.

Using notepad create a file exactly like this:

phpinfo();
?>


That's three lines of code, no spaces on the ends, or blank lines.

Save it as info.php and upload it to your server. Then surf to this file with your web browser. A huge list of information will print to your screen.

Scroll down to the section that says Apache Environment. Probably the first item you'll see in that section is your document root.

If you plan to install in a sub-directory of your web document root(such as xoops_dir) then add it to the end of the reported document root.

That's the correct answer for you in this case. It's the physical path to the directory you want to use.

// XOOPS Physical Path
// Physical path to your main XOOPS directory WITHOUT trailing slash
define('XOOPS_ROOT_PATH''/whatever/phpinfo/gave/ya/xoops_dir');

// XOOPS Virtual Path (URL)
// Virtual path to your main XOOPS directory WITHOUT trailing slash
define('XOOPS_URL''http://www.yoursite.org/xoops_dir');


When your done immediately delete the info.php I had you create. Take it off your server untill such time as you'd like to refer to it again.

Let me know if this helps.
Darrell
