Win2K Path problems in init.ini.php w/includes & require

[Jagmeister]

I am trying to install Coppermine on a Win2K/IIS platform and having troubles with the default install path not being passed (or set) properly.

I manually entered the hard path  (D:/homepages/blah/blah) in init.inc.php but it finally errored out with a Critical Error when it called the load_template function.

How do I configure the proper "root" path of the installation?  I am just learning PHP so not terribly familiar with where the global variables are being  defined.

I'm guessing in the config.inc.php file I need something like:
$CONFIG['HTTP_ROOT'] =                "D:/homepages/blah/blah";

I made up the HTTP_ROOT thing...... but I think you know what I mean.

Thanks,
Matt

What is the exact error it gives you on a fresh install?

[Jagmeister]

I don't remember exactly.  I will go back and remove my customizations and run the install script again.

Time Passes.......

First error is:
Fatal error: Failed opening required 'include/config.inc.php' (include_path='c:\php4\pear') in D:\homepages\rlmartin\mistycastle\gallery\include\init.inc.php on line 135

Following errors were similar, just different lines in init.inc.php

The gallery folder is where I installed the app.  It's just off the root of my website.

If php info is relevant you can access the following:
http://www.mistycastle.com/gallery/test.php  which provides phpinfo()

Thanks,

Okay, this occurs because the include library path has been set in php.ini to point to your PEAR istallation.  I assume you want to keep PEAR, so you need to edit the require/include calls that generate the errors.  You should do like so each time you get this error:

Code Select Expand

require(realpath('include/config.inc.php' ));

(use the require or include function as appropriate)

(Assuming PHP 4 or higher - If not, you must enter in the full path by hand.)

That fixed it.

Thanks a bunch.  I would never have figured that out on my own.  I'll have to remember that little trick.
