hey
im getting this error when installing

Configuration Issues ...
Setup has determined that you must manually edit the paths to Settings.pl or other core files. If you need help, contact E-Blah technical support.

The following may help you figure out what your paths are:
Document Root: C:/oops/
Script name: C:/Program Files/xampp/cgi-bin/Setup.pl
File(s) Not Loaded: ./Settings.pl, ./Settings_Default.pl
Reason for failure: No such file or directory


what do i need to change? please someone can help i realy like this

In Setup.pl change ./Settings_Default.pl to C:/Program Files/xampp/cgi-bin/Settings_Default.pl

Do the same, but for the Settings.pl in Blah.pl.

well still not working
can usend me the files?

http://www.xpepper.nl/cgi-bin/Setup.pl

thank

blahdocs

c:/oops/blahdocs (rootfolder)

Change $root in Settings.pl to: C:/Program Files/xampp/cgi-bin/

Change $bdocsdir2 to: c:/oops/blahdocs

ive tried but nothing
pff..

check

http://www.4ppl.nl/forum/setup.pl

my Settings_Default.pl is

Quoted Text

# IN MOST CASES THIS FILE SHOULDN'T BE EDITED.
# ONLY EDIT IT IF >SETUP< TELLS YOU TO!

# What is the directory that Settings.pl is located in?
$root = "c:/xampp/xampp/htdocs/warez/forum/";

# This should be the only line you need to edit for Avatars, uploads, and templates directories
$bdocsdir2 = "c:/xampp/xampp/htdocs/warez/forum/blahdocs";

Ok, those are right.  Paste these lines:

Code if(!SetupLoad('./Settings.pl',1) || !SetupLoad("$code/QuickCore.pl",1)) { InstallConfig() if(!SetupLoad('./Settings_Default.pl',1) || !SetupLoad("$code/QuickCore.pl",1)); }

From Setup.pl.  Something is messed up there, not your Settings_default.pl file.

so what now?

can u please help?

still not installed

Hmmm, im getting the same error.
It would be easier if Justin provided us with the files
I'll try what youve said Justin and see if it works for me...

And with me the Document Root: part is blank
and thescript name is: e:\domains\w\wiistyle.co.uk\user\htdocs\cgi-bin\forum\Setup.pl


EDIT: Nope, doesnt work, just causes QuickCore.pl to go faulty too, so i re-uploaded the normal file...

Back to squre 1

ED-EDIT: I was doing it wrong. Now its just the same error with a longer name...

ED-ED-EDIT: Turns out the problem was that the hashes were going the wrong way, it sorts out the problem of Settings_Default.pl and makes a problem of Quick_Core.pl
Setting.pl isn't chaning, but i dont even have a settigns.pl in my cgi-bin/forum as it didnt come with the download. So maybe thats a problem...

Ok, start anew.

CHMOD the /forum directory that you upload 777.  Also CHMOD /Prefs, /Boards, /Members, /Messages, /Mods, 777 (and all directories below it).  Since you're both on Windows servers, make certain that Blah.pl can read and write in these directories.  If it can't, you won't be able to get past step one ...

After you do this, run Setup.pl.

menno: In Setup.pl change "./Settings_Default.pl" to: "C:/Program Files/xampp/cgi-bin/Settings_Default.pl".  Note that if you have it installed in c:/mysite, change the paths.  MAKE SURE YOU CHANGED THE \ to /, C:\ is C:/, if you don't you'll never get passed this step.

Next, edit Settings.pl, change $root to "C:/Program Files/xampp/cgi-bin" and change $bdocsdir2 to "C:/Program Files/xampp/htdocs/blahdocs".  Again, it's just basic Windows file structure issues you've got to worry about.  Make sure you point to the correct directories and not some random directory that does not exist.

WiiStyle, do the same thing as menno, only change your paths "e:/domains/w/wiistyle.co.uk/user/htdocs/cgi-bin/forum" and "e:/domains/w/wiistyle.co.uk/user/htdocs/blahdocs".

---

If you both do that, you'll be all set.  You'll probably need to change "Settings.pl" in Blah.pl to "e:/domains/w/wiistyle.co.uk/user/htdocs/cgi-bin/forum/Settings.pl" (WiiStyle), and "C:/Program Files/xampp/cgi-bin/Settings.pl".
