Install.php and installing...

[violindiva]

I unzipped the zip on my computer and uploaded the extracted files exactly like they were and while reading your documentation looked for install.php

Ive installed SMF and other applications in a similar way and noticed that install.php is usually right inside the main file loose with a bunch of php files rather than in the main file, in a folder somewhere...
I looked and looked and couldnt see it..anyway followed instructions and typed...the URL in my browser...well I got this:

Not Found
The requested URL was not found on this server.

So then I went to th zip file..well install was in there...it obviously is inside one of the folders somewhere...I did what I thought was logical and put a copy of that and some sort of CSS install file in the gallery folder and then it did this:

Warning: open_basedir restriction in effect. File is in wrong directory in /home/httpd/vhosts/kentamplin.com/httpdocs/gallery/install.php on line 30

Warning: open_basedir restriction in effect. File is in wrong directory in /home/httpd/vhosts/kentamplin.com/httpdocs/gallery/install.php on line 30

Fatal error: Failed opening required 'include/sql_parse.php' (include_path='.:/usr/share/pear') in /home/httpd/vhosts/kentamplin.com/httpdocs/gallery/install.php on line 30


Firstly...where is the install file hiding when you unzip the zipfile....what am I doing wrong because this part of the documentation seems simple and doesnt help me in any way...

Violindiva: Hmm... that is real interesting. It looks like you might have a corrupt zip file. Please try to download the file again and retry the install. http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=89658

Well well well that was REAL interesting (to quote someone you know OMEGA) I downloaded 1.3.2  from a different mirror but when I unzipped it it was called CPG132 instead of gallery..and I had a peep inside the folder and install.php is there

Looks like you were right... I wonder if it is just my download that was corrupt or if the Sydney mirror itsself has a problem

OMEGA Coppermine should hire you.....

PROPS to you

Where did you try to do the first download from.  I know you used the sydney mirror, but did you get it from the downloads section of this site?

Our zips are not called 'gallery', but are cpg (plus version).
