Cannot get PP to work at all :(

[zymoticspade]

Hey all,

I've tried to install PP several times, but I just can't get it to work. I also contacted my host, but they said since info.php works (http://www.markus-berger.de/info.php) they won't give me any further assistance with a script :(

Following issue: I couldn't install it at first, then I looked through the forum and found this post (http://forum.pixelpost.org/showthread.php?t=5171&highlight=functions.php+error) where someone seemed to have a similar issue. So I added following line to create_tables.php:

ini_set ('include_path',ini_get('include_path').':/home/strato/www/ma/www.markus-berger.de/htdocs/pp/');

This way at least I could install PP at it created the tables etc.:

Table pixelpost_config created ...
Table pixelpost_categories created ...
Table pixelpost_pixelpost created ...
Table pixelpost_comments created ...
Table pixelpost_visitors created ...
Table pixelpost_config populated ...
Remember your data:
Table pixelpost_version created ...
Table pixelpost_catassoc created ...
Added timezone support ...
Added customizable category links support ...
Added HTML notification email support ...
Added email in comments support ...
Longer name field in comments support ...
Longer url field in comments support ...
Added indexes to pixelpost_config ...
Added indexes to pixelpost_categories ...

Added indexes to pixelpost_pixelpost ...
Added indexes to pixelpost_visitors ...

Switch ON/OFF for time stamps is added ...
Switch ON/OFF for visitor booking is added ...
Table pixelpost_version updated to 1.5Beta.
The tables are all set.
Finally...
Let's see if we can save images in the folder images:
» Images folder is writable, which is a good thing.
Let's see if we can save thumbnails in the folder thumbnails:
» Thumbnails folder is writable.

I could login then and tried to upload a pic, which kinda worked, since I could look for it on the server as well. It did not create a thumbnail though and the the index.php doesn't show anything at all. I tried to delete the picture in the admin panel and I got this error message:

Post deleted. Image deleted.
Warning: Unlink failed (No such file or directory) in /mnt/am2/04/494/00000012/htdocs/pp/admin/images_edit.php on line 149
Could not delete thumbnail. You have to do that some other way, with your ftp software perhaps.

Can someone please help me? I tried to install PP for several times, but it doesn't change anything. My host won't help me either, but it seems to be a problem with the paths, since info.php says /home/strato/www/ma/www.markus-berger.de/htdocs/ whereas that error gives me /mnt/am2/04/494/00000012/htdocs/

I also tried to add ini_set ('include_path',ini_get('include_path').':/home/strato/www/ma/www.markus-berger.de/htdocs/pp/'); to all php files, but that didn't change a thing either :(

Thanks!

Try to put this:
ini_set ('include_path',ini_get('include_path').':/mnt/am2/04/494/00000012/htdocs/:/home/strato/www/ma/www.markus-berger.de/htdocs/');

Thanks for your answer!

I added this line to all the php files but when I upload an image PP still doesn't create a thumbnail. When I delete the picture following message appears:

Post deleted. Image deleted.
Warning: Unlink failed (No such file or directory) in /mnt/am2/04/494/00000012/htdocs/pp/admin/images_edit.php on line 148
Could not delete thumbnail. You have to do that some other way, with your ftp software perhaps.

The index.php doesn't show up at all http://www.markus-berger.de/pp/ :(

Ask your ISP about help because it looks like very nonstandard configuration of filesystem at server. They should help you to solve this issue.

Unfortuneately they insinst that they cannot help me, based on the fact that info.php works they claim that it's not their problem :(

perhaps you should think about changing your ISP?
I do not know which package you have at Strato and what you pay for it. But you know Stratos reputation is not the best with support, accessability, speed, PHP... That is just my experience when trying to install webshops at strato accounts. It simply didn't work.
I use all-inkl.com (http://www.all-inkl.com/index.php?cna=webhosting&cnb=webprivat_l&partner=21247) and I love their support: they even repair broken php skripts for you if you make a call for help... Server is very fast (with the pointed package you share the server with only 100 people), acessability is nearly 100% and the pricing is very fair.
