OS: win2k server
Xoops: last
PHP: 4.1.2
Web server: Apache 1.3.x

installation process looks ok with only green leds. I can load the home page and I try to login with my admin account: XOOPS greets me with Thank you for logging in and automatically redirects me to the home page but there is no menu (and, in particular, no administration setup option), only the same page as the beginning.
In my XOOPS main dir I found errors.txt:

PHP Warning: Failed opening 'XOOPS_ROOT_PATH/class/xoopsblock.php' for inclusion (include_path='.;C:\phpdev5\php\includes;C:\phpdev5\php\class') in c:\phpdev5\www\xoops\header.php on line 28
PHP Fatal error: Failed opening required 'XOOPS_ROOT_PATH/class/template.php' (include_path='.;C:\phpdev5\php\includes;C:\phpdev5\php\class') in c:\phpdev5\www\xoops\header.php on line 62

Tried 4 different install with same messages.

Looks like a proplem with mainfile.php being included.

Check out your mainfile.php in your XOOPS root.

and your XOOPS_ROOT_PATH i.e.

// Physical path to your main XOOPS directory WITHOUT trailing slash
define('XOOPS_ROOT_PATH', '/home/yourpath/public_html');

to find your phsical path see this thread here, and run ths script suggested.

Thanx for your prompt reply.

Tried the script you suggested, this is the result:

// Use this script to get the physical root path of your server // Just upload this file to the main directory and point your browser to it // http://your_xoops_directory/rootpath.php Your root path is c:/phpdev5/www/xoops
without string replace: c:/phpdev5/www/xoops

and this is the mainfile.php:

// XOOPS Physical Path
// Physical path to your main XOOPS directory WITHOUT trailing slash
define('XOOPS_ROOT_PATH', 'c:/phpdev5/www/xoops');

// XOOPS Virtual Path (URL)
// Virtual path to your main XOOPS directory WITHOUT trailing slash
define('XOOPS_URL', 'http://192.168.0.1:8000/xoops');


it looks correct or do I miss something?

can you check your cookie settings are enabled & do you have a firewall like nortons? if so you need to add your XOOPS to the trusted list.

I would also double check permission levels etc

unfortunately, as I mention in another post, the problem still exists and I was contacted by people who abandoned XOOPS due to this trouble.

To answer your kind reply, my cookies are enabled and I tried to disable any firewall and antivirus.

Permissions are the widest. Different browsers led to the same result.
