    • "TikiWiki is not properly set up:" thinks folders don't exist

    Posted by bzahn posts: 96 United States

    I upgraded PHP to 5.2.0 and now I am getting the following error message:

    TikiWiki is not properly set up:

    The directory 'D:\home/backups/' does not exist.
    The directory 'D:\home/dump/' does not exist.
    The directory 'D:\home/img/wiki/' does not exist.
    The directory 'D:\home/img/wiki_up/' does not exist.
    The directory 'D:\home/modules/cache/' does not exist.
    The directory 'D:\home/temp/' does not exist.
    The directory 'D:\home/templates_c/' does not exist.


    This is not the correct path to the tiki folder (the folders are actually several places deeper than what shows, but tiki no longer seems to know that for some reason), but I'm not sure where to reset it. The tiki-install.php page will display, but tiki-setup.php just defaults to the tiki-index.php page which displays the above error message.

    Any ideas on what I need to do?

    I would appreciate any help.

    I had the same problem, and worked around it by creating the folders where TikiWiki wanted them for the duration of the install. I found it was safe to remove them later.

    I think the issue has to do with the PHP returning a shorter-than-expected path in regards to the website root, but I didn't ever find out which variable generates this path.
