1.4.2 paths and visitor table

[germanseneca]

Hi - after upgrading from 1.4.1 to 1.4.2 my paths are not recognised anymore. I want to make usage of the advanced stat addon to summarise my visitors table. It's huge and causes me massive performance problems since it's huge.
My folders are in the root like:
www.richardalois.com/images
www.richardalois.com/addons
the index.php is also in the root like www.richardalois.com/index.php
The have the correct security settings.

these are my administration settings:
Pixelpost Version
You are running version 1.4.2 of Pixelpost. Released 18 July 2005.
Latest pixelpost version: Check
Host Information
PHP-version 4.3.9 (Pixelpost's min requirement: PHP version 4.3.0)
MySQL version 4.0.24 (Pixelpost's min requirement: MySQL 3.23.58)
GD-lib bundled (2.0.28 compatible) with JPEG support

Paths
Guessed imagepath: /home/strato/www/ri/www.richardalois.com/htdocs/images/
Configured Imagepath ../images/
Image Directory: Does Not Exist (should be ../images) - Thumbnails folder not writable!
You must set correct permissions on this folder or you will not be able to create any thumbnails.
Set the folder to chmod 777 (read, write and execute permissions for owner, group and world).
Thumbnails Directory: Does Not Exist (should be ../thumbnails) -
Language Directory: Does Not Exist (should be ../language)
Addons Directory: Does Not Exist (should be ../addons
Includes Directory: Does Not Exist (should be ../includes)
Templates Directory: Does Not Exist (should be ../temptes)

Addons Directory: Does Not Exist (should be ../addons

1. You didnt upload all files (didnt create all dirs with its content)
2. You didnt create base dirs:
- images
- thumbnails
3. Above two dirs doesnt have chmod 777 (coz there isnt such dirs :P)

Try to fix this 3 points and all should be OK.

PS If they are there try to dissable (del for a minute) new addon and test is PP work OK?
If works (after del of this addon) it means that this addon is buggy and you should look around for better one.

I find this a bit strange myself. All the files are uploaded and the image/thumbnails have 777.
what else could be the reason for this?

Thanks

This new addon.

Did you try to delete it (or change extension to non PHP, i.e. php_bak)??

[germanseneca]

did so. nothing changes. but I am more concerend about why my folders can't be recognised anymore? Is my DB fucked?

[GeoS]

When you go to options section and change any field does PP save it??

If not it means DB problems.

PS Did you overwrite /includes/pixelpost.php with your version or with which Pixelpost comes??
