Hello. Just installed PP on my site and am getting an error when trying to call up the site (www.blog.yvettefevurly.com). The error I'm getting is

Warning: main(../includes/pixelpost.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /var/www/blog/index.php on line 38

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required '../includes/pixelpost.php' (include_path='.:/php/includes:/usr/share/php') in /var/www/blog/index.php on line 38

I've looked at line 38 and it's
require("../includes/pixelpost.php");

I do have the pixelpost.php located in the "includes" folder. Do you think my database information is wrong?

when i try opening other directories in your site such as admin i'm getting a 404 error. if you're sure that you did upload everything correctly then ask your host what the problem might be.

I am NOT sure I have everything in the correct directory. When I opened the zip file that I downloaded from the site the files were NOT in folders as the website said they should be. So I put everything where I thought it should be based on error messages and etc.

I think I have the admin up and running fine ( http://blog.yvettefevurly.com/pixelpost/admin/ ) as I can see all the fields, edit and etc. I'm only having problems when I try to call up the index.php file as it's looking for the pixelpost.php file in the "includes" folder. It is located there but there must be some code wrong in the pixelpost.php file. That's the only thing I can think of.

Is there some documentation somewhere that tells me exactly what file should be in what folder?

That's going to end up being your problem...when you open the zip file from the website, it appears as though the files aren't in folders. BUT...when you select all files and extract them, they actually DO get put into the proper folders as it says they should be. Try saving/opening the zip file again, extract the files and you will see everything is put into the proper folders...

HTH,

Thanks to all. Got it up and running but... now I can't see the images. http://blog.yvettefevurly.com/pixelpost/

On my upload page I get the following:

Warning: getimagesize(../images/20060625170535_dsc02413_edit.jpg): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /var/www/blog/pixelpost/admin/images_edit.php on line 199

#2, Title: desaturated, File-name: 20060625170535_dsc02413_edit.jpg
Dimensions: x , 0 Kb <<--- The file shows as 0Kb but it's a 1 MB JPG file on my computer. Is that too big? Is it not compressing? Is there a max on what I can upload?

Anything you guys could help me with on the photo display problem??

Please copy/paste the information found in the General Info area of your pixelpost admin page...

without seeing that info, I can really only say to make sure your image and thumbnail directories are CHMOD 777 (this means the images and thumbnails directories need to have permissions set to read/write/execute).

Below is the information from my "general info" page.

Pixelpost Information
You are running Pixelpost version 1.5 - April 2006
Latest pixelpost version: Check

Host Information

URL http://www.yvettefevurly.com/var/subdomain/blog/html/pixelpost/admin/index.php
PHP-version 4.3.10 (Pixelpost's min requirement: PHP version: 4.3.0 )

File Uploads to pixelpost site are possible.

Paths
Guessed imagepath: /var/www/html/var/subdomain/blog/html/pixelpost/images/
Configured Imagepath: /var/www/blog/pixelpost/images
Image Directory: OK - Can we write to the directory? YES. CHMOD: 0755
Thumbnails Directory: OK - Can we write to the directory? YES. CHMOD: 0755

Templates Directory: OK

The information from the general page shows the permissions for images and thumbs at 755, but when I look using SmartFTP it's set to 777. Do I need to contact my host?

Looks like your configured image path could be missing a directory in the directory tree. Try setting your image path to ../images/ (exactly as it's written there) and see if that helps...

[yvette]

That seems to have done the trick!! Thanks so much for all the help!
