I receive this error

XOOPS path check: Script is not inside XOOPS_ROOT_PATH and cannot run.

I have not changed anything in months, I did a search for this problem and found 2 topics and tried everything they listed. I am running XOOPS 2.014 and php version 4.3.10

I ran test.php on my server and apparently my host DID change my physical path, I have went into the mainfile.php and changed

define('XOOPS_ROOT_PATH'

to the correct physical path.


I have also changed

define('XOOPS_CHECK_PATH', 1);

to

define('XOOPS_CHECK_PATH', 0);

This did not correct the problem either I still get the error message. Please help me as my site is live and need to get it back online as soon as possible. Thanks.

Have you tried this? If your web host changed your physical path, they may have added a symlink, too.

this is the email i received back from the hosting company.

----------------
Your path currently shows as correct in both the Xoops
config file and the Environment Site Tool.

The following are common paths required to configure your CGI/Perl scripts.

Perl 5 Location
#!/usr/bin/perl

Sendmail Location
/usr/lib/sendmail

Full or Absolute root path for Non-forwarded Domains:
We recommend using the DOCUMENT ROOT environment variable to automatically insert
the path in your Perl script:

$ENV{'HOMEDIR'}/www

You may have to use "double quotes" around the path.

For example the full path to your www directory would be:
"$ENV{'HOMEDIR'}/www"


Full or Absolute root path for Forwarded Domains (eg. yourdomain.com forwarded to
/www/yourdomain.com/):
$ENV{'HOMEDIR'}/www/yourdomain.com

The full path to your cgi-bin directory would be:
"$ENV{'HOMEDIR'}/cgi-bin"
-------------------------------------

does this mean i need to add
$ENV{'HOMEDIR'}/www
somewhere in the mainfile.php?

What script are you trying to run?

I'm just trying to run xoops. It only gives me

XOOPS path check: Script is not inside XOOPS_ROOT_PATH and cannot run.

Even though my path in mainfile.php is correct.

I have solved this problem. For some reason my web hosting company moved my site folder to 3 different locations in 3 days without telling me anything about it...
