Failed install…warning & fatal error

did u edit ur b2config file with the proper config?

Yes, the database/username/password are all perfect. I’ve triple-checked this.

Hi Trinity
From the error message, it looks like you have a mixture of absolute and linked paths.
The path to the file generating the error message is
/home2/strata79/public_html/~trinity//b2-include/wp-db.php
but it is claiming that the file it cannot find is
/home2/trinity/public_html/b2config.php
I suspect that the directory /home2/trinity/public_html is a symbolic link to /home2/strata79/public_html/~trinity
I think the calculation of abspath at the bottom of b2config.php (I’m assuming version 0.71 here) which uses getenv(‘DOCUMENT_ROOT’) from Apache is causing the problem.
Try setting it directly to /home2/strata79/public_html/~trinity e.g.
$abspath = ‘/home2/strata79/public_html/~trinity’;
in b2config.php in place of the getenv(‘DOCUMENT_ROOT’) line to see if that fixes it.

hi, thanks for the suggestion. One question, do I replace the whole line
$abspath = getenv(‘DOCUMENT_ROOT’)
or just the
getenv(‘DOCUMENT_ROOT’)
just want to clairfy ??
trinity

I think the whole line will do it (I missed the trailing slash).
$abspath = ‘/home2/strata79/public_html/~trinity/’;
Mike

I replaced that and now have a parse error. Now I have a page that says
—————–
Parse error: parse error in /home2/trinity/public_html/b2config.php on line 334

Welcome to WordPress. We’re now going to go through a few steps to get you up and running with the latest in personal publishing platforms. Before we get started, remember that we require a PHP version of at least 4.0.6, you have 4.3.2. Look good? You also need to set up the database connection information in b2config.php. Have you looked at the readme? If you’re all ready, let’s go!
—————–
What should I do……try to proceed or fix the parse error. Currently line 334 reads
—————–
$abspath = ‘/home2/strata79/public_html/~trinity/’; . $relpath . ‘/’;
—————–
Thoughts?
Thanks again,
trinity

Hi Trinity
You don’t need the .$relpath bit so the line ends at the first semi-colon

Ack. I took out the .$relpath bit and now have the exact same thing

Line 337 reads as

$abspath = ‘/home2/strata79/public_html/~trinity/’;

this is almost funny…..:)
any new thoughts?
trinity

OK, try this one,
$abspath = ‘/home2/trinity/public_html/’;
and if that doesn’t work try this
$abspath = ‘/home2/strata79/public_html/’;
Mike

the first one worked perfectly. thank you so much for all your help ??
trinity

Yeah! I’m glad we got there in the end. ??
