Hi

Completely new XOOPS 2.0.17 fresh installation, first module to install - protector3. I am having problem on define XOOPS_TRUST_PATH.

Following the readme file comes with the protector download. (It says):


First, define XOOPS_TRUST_PATH into mainfile.php if you've never done it yet.

1. I modified the mainfile.php by added a new line:
define('XOOPS_TRUST_PATH', '/home/xxxxx/public_html/anotherfolder');

Just after:

define('XOOPS_ROOT_PATH', '/home/xxxxx/public_html/xoops_site_folder');


2. I upload all contents in XOOPS_TRUST_PATH to home/xxxxx/public_html/anotherfolder and upload all contents of protector folder in html/modules folder to /home/xxxxx/public_html/xoops_site_folder

3. When I login as admin and go to mudles admin page, I get an error message:
set XOOPS_TRUST_PATH into mainfile.php

Can anyone tell me what have I done wrong?

Thank you

River

Not sure what you've done wrong, but take a look at this excellent guide by Madfish.

Did you change the properties of mainfile.php to be writable? Your changes may have been lost if you did not.

the link to madfish does not seem to work

and is doesn't work and I can't understand a word of GI Joes description in his website, is there a chance that someone could upload the install tutorial or mail it to me?

Take a look at this - Starting a New XOOPS Site: Day 12, it has some decent explanations.

You have email.

Pleased to help - let me know if you need to know more, but follow the guide to the letter and you will be fine

Hi I Installed protector on my XOOPS site and I am getting this error 2 or 3 times a day for several minutes and then the site is fine for awhile then the error will appear again. Can anyone help me out?

I was not even be able to install it... good luck

The last couple of versions have been easier to install in that you can insert the pre- and post-check code into mainfile.php before installing the module.

Have another go and I'll help you if you get stuck. Your site will be a lot more secure with it installed.
