Hi,

i install the new version 2.0.7.3 on a hosted server (linux, mysql, php4).

Ok, it work's. I fill the form about the db and the pathes.

after display all parameters once again, i get the following message (on a white page):
XOOPS path check: Script is not inside XOOPS_ROOT_PATH and cannot run.

that means, i can't continoue the installation!

but i think my physical path is ok.

I don't know what this mean and if there is a solution.

please help

Hi Paulap,

This error message means that the physycal path is not the actual physical path of your site. Please verify with your hosting provider that the physical path does not contain any hotlinked directories, and that they give you the actual path. Many hosts use a hotlink to change site123 to yourname.com, so they can manage the site123 directories independant of the domain names. But XOOPS needs, as added protection, the real physical path.

If you have the real one, you can change mainfile.php and get on with the process.

thx,

I tried to find out the physical path, but my provider don't tell me the real path (security reasons...?!).

I will try to call the technical-helpdesk of the provider once again.
