hi there,
i have finally successfully installed xoops.
well all is a story i guess i need to explain it in detail so developers can guied me.
on my local computer, everything seems perfect, no problem at all.
so, i started installing on my website, i.e. on remote host, and problems started poping up one by one, however i have tried my best but, now i m stuck....
firstly i had problem saying that could not write into mainfile.php, at 3rd or 4th step of installtion, i checked file permission everything was ok. still the problem persist. then i scaned through the index.php file in install/ directory, i found that mainfile.php and other derectories were refered there using "../", well this is not allowed on the server where i m hosting my website as they have some basedirectory restriction, in this index.php at 40 placeses this "../" is used. and i changed all to "./"
well, i thought to play with source code and directory stucture, i put all the files in install/ derectory as it is but in parent direcotroy of install, and install was empy, i moved all language, sql, class etc all the folders to perent directory that is now root directory, renamed the root's index.php file to index_main.php and copied index.php of install to root.
after doing this i tried to install but again the same error, so i again scaned sourcecode and found that on file in class directory was at two places refering to ../mainfile.php and ../mainfile.dist.php, again i modified ../ to ./
now this time everything was perfect, i got everything istalled correctly and was greeted with end screen of installtion.
i renamed index.php to index_install.php and index_main.php to index.php
i tried to check the url, well it worked but only header and footer, no login screen. tried user.php but again only header and footer, tried admin.php message came that not authorized, fine i came to this fourm and found couple of hints, one was to on the debug mode by modifing include/common.php file, i did that, and one hint was to edit database and in xoops_config modifing debug_mode to 1.
everything is done.
still the same problem with my index.php and admin.php but some change came to my user.php file
well still only header and footer but this error code is added in the end:
Warning [Xoops]: Smarty error: unable to read template resource: "db:system_userform.html" in file d:\area\users.quickfox.org\~\myfamily\class\smarty\Smarty.class.php line 1042
now i dont know where do i go from here, can the expert developers sitting out there help me, c my basic problem was with basedirectory restriction, may be it is still createing problems for me, plz suggest modifications that i m required to do in order to make everything working.
well i guess it was bit long nartion of my problem, sorry that i made u read this much, but i guess i will help u in analying the exact prob,
n e way waiting for reply
