Require_once?

Posted by Faroth 31 Mar 2004 15:36 GMT-0000 posts: 11

Hallo!

A simple question; when I'm typing in the db-info in the "tiki-db.php"-file during the installation, what should a type in the "require_once" field? The deafault value is db.php but that doesn't work.

_
// Database connection for the tiki system
require_once('???');
$host_tiki = 'localhost';
$user_tiki = ****';
$pass_tiki = '****';
$dbs_tiki = ****';
$tikidomain = '';
_

Someone help me?

Thanks/Faroth

I think I found which file to type, someone called "append.php" but I'm not sure it's the right one.

Now, when I'm trying to open the site it's all blank. Nothing appears on the tiki-index.php page and the same goes for tiki-admin.php.

If I let the value 'db.php' stay in tiki-db.php I get this Error message:

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required 'db.php' (include_path='.:/data/apache/php/mmp_lib') in ********/********/tikiwiki/db/tiki-db.php on line 14

What am I going wrong?

Hi Faroth,
I remember reading this a few times, but not what's the solution. Maybe you can find in SOurceForge bug trackers or Help forum. Otherwise, do you get this with 1.8?
Come at IRC #tikiwiki and maybe you find some help there.

No, I installed 1.8 after reading your post. But to be honest, I have no idea how to install it. I don't know much about these things but I
really want to get Tikiwiki to work.

I have uploaded all files via ftp and changed the CHMOD.

What to do with the install.sh file. From where should i execute it for exemple?

Haven't someone made an "install-guide for Dummies" ;)?

InstallWithOnlyFtpAccess explains how to perform an installation with only FTP access, did you read it?
setup.sh only changes permissions AFAIK, anyway you can probably read the code to check. You can't execuit it if you have only FTP access, the page must mention how to replace its action manually.

My understanding is that Ftp-only and Safemode installs are at least twice harder to do than normal ones.

Yes, I've followed the installation with only FTP access. When I made the changes in tiki-db.php I get these errors when I'm trying to view tiki-index.php:

Warning: main(adodb.inc.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /data/members/free/tripod/se/l/i/t/litteratur/htdocs/tiki/db/tiki-db.php on line 73

Btw, which way is the best to install tikki if I want to install it on a webserver?
