install errors cpgnuke1.2.1

[Tiggs]

Trying to install coppermine on php 4.3.4 - phpnuke 6.9 - Apache2 - mySQL 3.23.58 on Windows XP Pro and getting this error:


Warning: main(mainfile.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\Server\Apache2\htdocs\CPG\modules\coppermine\include\load.inc.php on line 9

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required 'mainfile.php' (include_path='.;c:\php4\pear') in C:\Server\Apache2\htdocs\CPG\modules\coppermine\include\load.inc.php on line 9


I've tried the FAQ's and searching this bb with no luck. I see in the instructions it says chmod 777 certain folds. I've searched the web on this and I cant tell if this is something I can do on Windows or on UNIX and Linux only.

Any help would be great.

Thanks

probably the chdir() command in install.php isn't allowed try this:

modules.php?name=coppermine&file=install

I have no idea where I am supose to put that. In the install.php file if so where? In the url to install it?

Thanks for your help.

I got it to install. Mistake on my part in a way. When I download the cpgnuke1.2.1.zip file the were a couple of folders before you get to the guts of the folder. After unzipping the breakdown looks like this: c:\cpgnuke1.2.1\release\htmlCPG1.2.1\then all the folders and files you need. In the install text file it says

Upload all content of this zip excluding this readme

. I thought this might be wrong but I didnt know for sure so i created a folder of my choosing in the root directory and tried to install that way. So I just took the guts of the module and created a new zip and re-unzipped them to their correct folders.

Why someone created the zip file this way i will never know. It should be double zipped with the first zip containing the install text and the zipped program. Would save a lot of time. IMHO.  

Why am I saying all this? So incase someone else does the same thing they might read this and get their fix.

Thanks for your help DJMaze.
