Anything Forums

Hi, not sure where to post this. I have been trying to install a newer version of php nuke. my host provides version 6.0 but I would prefer 6.5. I'm not to experienced with php or php nuke. I've been having problems getting it to work. I have it installed, have the database all setup, have the config.php configed properly (I think) and have all of my files and folders for it chmoded properly. However I am getting this error: Warning: main(db/db.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/thencweb/public_html/pics/mainfile.php on line 77

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required 'db/db.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/thencweb/public_html/pics/mainfile.php on line 77

I know I have the db.php file. from what I've been able to guess its not connecting to my database and I think the db.php has something to do with like the forums. But again Im a newbie at this so I'm not sure. I can't seem to find what the problem is. The only error I think I could of possibly made was not have the current bdpass or something like that in my config.php file. This is because when i set up the database wasn't really sure about having to add a new user and such. Any help would be apreciated. Thanks.

The include path seems a bit funny...

.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php

It should be something like this:

/usr/lib/php/usr/local/lib/php

Assuming /usr is a directory in the root of the server (which it usually is in linux). check mainfile.php on line 77 to see if this is the case and change it.

I never tried php nuke as I'm more of a "do it yourself" type guy though. I will be releasing a php article soon to follow my existing one.


And welcome to the forum.

on line 77 it has: require_once("db/db.php");
So I guess maybe thats not it....


Thanks for the welcome

weird, and I assume there's a folder called db in the same folder as that file? If yes it should work... assuming db.php is there which you said it was.

Archived topic from Iceteks, old topic ID:1863, old post ID:15348

yeah it's there....

Archived topic from Iceteks, old topic ID:1863, old post ID:15351

hmm weird.
I don't think this will work, but try replacing require_once with just require.

Also try putting the whole server path instead of just direct. Make sure you start it with / it's probably the path I showed earlier but not sure, something you'd have to check with your host maybe.

Oh, and is the case right? Because unix is case sensitive so DB.php is not the same as db.php.

Archived topic from Iceteks, old topic ID:1863, old post ID:15353

I'll try it. I have the same host as you

Oh I did not even know that.

is it just me or is FTP super fast for once? I did 2 uploads in about 10 seconds.

Archived topic from Iceteks, old topic ID:1863, old post ID:15368

Yeah the ftp isn't to bad.

yep they swiched to a better server application, man it's so weird to be able to connect and do something right away instead of waiting 5 minutes for a listing. I wonder if they gave us a bigger time out too, 5 minutes is not enough when you're coding something.

ok. so I tried some stuff suggested in the rcthost forum...I think I made a small amount of headway.....I think that it is connecting to the mysql data base because when it wasn't it actually said it was having mysql problems. but I now have a few new errors that pop up:
Warning: main(language/lang-.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/thencweb/public_html/rowerz/mainfile.php on line 201

Warning: main(): Failed opening 'language/lang-.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/thencweb/public_html/rowerz/mainfile.php on line 201

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: themeheader() in /home/thencweb/public_html/rowerz/header.php on line 173

I looked at all these lines but seeing as i don't know php. Im not sure what it mean exactly lol. do you have any suggestions for me? I think Ive made some headway though lol. Thanks again

What it's trying to say is that the file does not exists... which it does. You're having the same problem as the start, but with different files.

I've never liked portals myself... Rather code it myself.

How is your database set up? Do you have a DB with a user and password? And do you have that info filled out correctly when installing the php-nuke? I've set up php-nuke in less than 5 minutes... so i think it's something with your DB.

Archived topic from Iceteks, old topic ID:1863, old post ID:15438

speaking of db, did you set the root user to use the php nuke database? In the cpanel mysql page (not phpmyadmin) you need to add the user to the database. I never knew that until I had a permission problem and I had to do it that way.

I'll check it out. but I downloaded 2 programs from nukecops.com an analyzer and connection tester. according to them my site is connecting to the database....so i dont think its a problem but I will try looking at it again and doing what you suggested. Thanks
