base path

[smyhte]

what is the correct base path for windows in application.php? ie, i have this C:\wamp\www\domain and have tried various variations of \wamp\www\domain and \wamp\www\domain\ but no joy. i should know this, but have had sudden memory loss. i am trying to work localhost. many thanks.

im running xampp and this is the paths in my application.php

  $site_url               = "http://localhost/indexu6";
  $base_path              = "C:/xampp/htdocs/indexu6/";

@echo. thanks for reply. however, all i get localhost is a load of config settings when i run index.php. here is my code for application.php.

  
  $dbServer               = "mysql";
  $dbHostname             = "localhost";
  $dbUsername             = "root";
  $dbPassword             = "";
  $dbName                 = "link";

  $site_url               = "http://localhost/domain";
  $base_path              = "C:/wamp/www/domain/";
  $theme_path             = $base_path . "themes/";
  $admin_template_path    = $base_path . "admin_tpl/";

i have only included part of application.php for above code. also, there is no pass on mysql local. where else can i look?

just an update to my previous reply. the garbage i am seeing on screen, is the db.class.php file in lib. also, at the bottom of the screen. there is this:

Fatal error: Cannot instantiate non-existent class: db_connection in C:\wamp\www\domain\init.php on line 25

seems like it could be db error? yet all my settings are correct. thanks

so your definatly saying your indexu instllation is

c:\wamp\www\domain\

I cant see anything wrong with the paths


your mysql password would be the password you set when you installed WAMP,your going to struggle without it,


are you sure the database name is correct "link" seems a strange name for indexu, but i suppose it can be anything you want.

Other than that i would sugest a reinstall of your webserver software

Fatal error: Cannot instantiate non-existent class: db_connection in C:\wamp\www\domain\init.php on line 25

seems like it could be db error? yet all my settings are correct. thanks

you got to remember that password, it would be the same password to administer your mysql

@echo. all other connections and sites on local are working ok. when i setup wamp i didn't use a pass nor is there a pass to mysql. i never use one locally. i can also connect to mysql through mysql command line. probably my error somewhere, will keep trying to find it. cheers

Providing the path is correct, what you pasted for application.php is correct.

The error(s) you are getting are probably due to PHP not being set up properly to run with IndexU.

What version of PHP are you running? v5.x prefers PHP4. If you are running PHP5 then you may need to take a look at the environment and make some changes.

[smyhte]

@bruce. the path is definately correct. i am using wamp with php4 and MySQL server version 5.0.45. what could i be missing in php config that stops it running? cheers

just an update. since i added .htaccess from server to localhost, now getting 'internal server error'. is working on main server though. i have attached the .htaccess file to see if there are any errors. thanks

# INDEXU-START
# DO NOT CHANGE THE FOLLOWING LINES
# status: 1
# pattern_category: {$cat_path}/more{$page}.html
# pattern_detail: detail/{$link_id}/{$link_title}.html
Options -MultiViews All -Indexes
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^detail/(.*)/(.*).html detail.php?linkid=$1
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l
RewriteRule ^.* browse.php
# INDEXU-END

[echo@]

try commenting out either the

Options -MultiViews All -Indexes

or

RewriteEngine On

[smyhte]

@echo. tried what you suggested. by making changes, i either get 'internal server error' or fatal error like above. any other ideas? thanks

[Bruceper]

If you removed the options line and you're still getting a 500 error then remove htaccess completely.

You may not have configured your server for htaccess or mod_rewrite may be disabled.

[smyhte]

@bruce. removed .htaccess and still seing the db class file on screen with fatal error. any other ideas? many thanks

[Bruceper]

So I assume now the 500 errors have gone away, that would be an issue with the environment and needs to be fixed if you want to use mod_rewrite.

If your server is throwing out actual php code onto the page then it is not parsing php properly. That's a function of PHP and how the web server interprets PHP. You need support from the creator of your server software for that.

@bruce. answered this reply yesterday, but it isn't here??? anyway, i have removed .htaccess and still displaying db class file. any other ideas? thanks
