I have searched the forums for this but have come up empty. I cannot imagine this has not happened before, so if it is a dupe, please point me in the correct direction!

I have had a very small XOOPS 2.0.16 (hosted) web site up for just under two years. I recently went to the site to upgrade it and then to make some content changes. When I went to the homepage, I got the following failure message and not the homepage:

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

Xoops: 2.0.16
PHP: 5.2.11
MySQL: 5.1.43

Any thoughts, suggestions, additional ways to debug? TIA.

Verify the definitions for the paths in mainfile.php
Maybe your hoster moved the server and they don't correspond anymore.

I checked the paths in mainfile.php and they look OK! I walked the paths as defined in mainfile.php and the contents 'seem' reasonable based on my recollection of the contents two years ago.

Is there any way to 'print' the name of the offending script in the error message or is there a log or debug that I could examine to see what script is failing? I am familiar with [ba|c|]sh scripting but not PHP, however, I am sure I can crack this nut!

This is useful if you ever need to double-check your server path:

$serverpath = !isset($_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"])? 'No path found' $_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"];
print 
$serverpath ;
?>

Do you mean upgrade Xoops, or just add some new content?.

You can also use these scripts in the root that mimic mainfile behaviour.
tstpath.php
    define'XOOPS_ROOT_PATH''/definition/comme/en/mainfile' );
    include 
'tst_path.php';
?>

et tst_path.php
if (function_exists("debug_backtrace")) {
    
$xoopsScriptPath debug_backtrace();
    if (!
count($xoopsScriptPath)) {
         die(
"XOOPS path check: this file cannot be requested directly");
    }
    
$xoopsScriptPath $xoopsScriptPath[0]["file"];
    echo 
"debug_backtrace path: ".$xoopsScriptPath.'';
} else {
            
$xoopsScriptPath = isset($_SERVER["PATH_TRANSLATED"]) ? $_SERVER["PATH_TRANSLATED"] :  $_SERVER["SCRIPT_FILENAME"];
    if (isset(
$_server["path_translated"])) 
    {
        echo 
"path_translated path: ".$xoopsScriptPath.'';
    }
    else
    {
        echo 
"script_filename path: ".$xoopsScriptPath.'';
    }
}
if ( 
DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR != "/" ) {
    
$xoopsScriptPath str_replacestrpos$xoopsScriptPath"") ? "" DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR"/"$xoopsScriptPath);
    echo 
"iis path: ".$xoopsScriptPath.'';    
}
    if ( 
strcasecmpsubstr($xoopsScriptPath0strlen(XOOPS_ROOT_PATH)), str_replaceDIRECTORY_SEPARATOR"/"XOOPS_ROOT_PATH)) ) {
    echo 
"xoops_root_path path: ".str_replace(DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR"/"XOOPS_ROOT_PATH).'';
    exit(
"XOOPS path check: Script is not inside XOOPS_ROOT_PATH and cannot run.");
}
?>

Execute tstpath.php to see the result.

Sorry for the long delay, I got the crud from some kids and it wiped me out! Thank you for all the scripts... yes my hosting company moved my home directory (only one character different than the old one) and I did not catch it until the scripts printed it out for me. Thanks again!
