Guest Posted March 8, 2003 Share Posted March 8, 2003 Hi Is it possible to use complete paths in the config file? Like this: ? define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/full/path/to/httpdocs/'); define('DIR_WS_IMAGES', '/full/path/to/httpdocs/images/'); define('DIR_WS_ICONS', DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'icons/'); define('DIR_WS_INCLUDES', /full/path/to/httpdocs/includes/'); define('DIR_WS_BOXES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . '/full/path/to/httpdocs/includes/boxes/'); define('DIR_WS_FUNCTIONS', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . '/full/path/to/httpdocs/includes/functions/'); define('DIR_WS_CLASSES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . '/full/path/to/httpdocs/includes/classes/'); define('DIR_WS_MODULES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . '/full/path/to/httpdocs/includes/modules/'); define('DIR_WS_LANGUAGES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . '/full/path/to/httpdocs/includes/languages/'); Would there be anything else that needs to be changed. Thanks Tracy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 8, 2003 Share Posted March 8, 2003 Posting without thinking... augh.. obviously the above wont work.. This is what I am trying to do.. I want to incorporate my forum with osC, but keep running into path problems. My main forum page is forum/index.php If I add require('includes/application_top.php'); obviuosly it doesnt find it.. If I add require('../includes/application_top.php'); it does find it.. but then I get more path errors from application_top. Is there anyway I can set the the paths so anything in any other directory will find where app_top and config are? I hope I explained this well enough Tracy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 8, 2003 Share Posted March 8, 2003 You need to remove the trailing slash from your main server path... then adjust all other forum calls accordingly... or, do the reverse with the osc paths.... perhaps fo me the latter is easier... eg. like this, only 3 lines in each configure.php - (look carefully): define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://localhost/'); // eg, http://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'http://localhost/'); // eg, https://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers define('ENABLE_SSL', false); // secure webserver for checkout procedure? define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', 'catalog/'); // absolute path required Not sure about your file system path.. you'll figure it out!

Guest Posted March 8, 2003 Share Posted March 8, 2003 Ohhhhh.. I am soooooo close... I got the template working fine.. but the forum/index.php is causing an error.. Osc is located here in httpdocs: define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/'); Is I was in /httpdocs/forum/ what would be the complete path to the application_top.php file?

Guest Posted March 8, 2003 Share Posted March 8, 2003 :wink: This is what I have been using... I had to upload the includes directory to the forum dir. so now it's /forum/includes/ It does work.. well sort of... ../includes/application_top.php yeilds the following error: Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class language in /path/to/httpdocs/forum/includes/classes/language.php on line 16 Or use includes/application_top.php and I get: Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /path/to/httpdocs/forum/includes/application_top.php on line 300 which is $navigation->add_current_page(); on my copy... IF only I could use the correct includes/application_top perseverance...... Tracy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 8, 2003 Share Posted March 8, 2003 :wink: This is what I have been using... I had to upload the includes directory to the forum dir. >snip or use includes/application_top.php and I get: >snip IF only I could use the correct includes/application_top perseverance...... Tracy Why have you had to do this? If you are trying to *open* application_top.php you will get errors anyway - the page is called by other pages. Perseverance is a good thing - pm me with exactly what you are trying to do and why, there may well be a better way. p.s. I am going to bed, so it will be a while before I answer :shock: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
