www_root does not correspond to server_root ??? [message #752]

okay, i realize this is probably a really simple question, but i am thoroughly confused.

when i try to run install.php, i get the following error message during step 2, next to my entry for "Forum WWW Root":

Your WWW_ROOT does not correspond with the SERVER_ROOT path you have specified.

My settings are:

Server Root: /home/juicysauce/www/forum/
Forum Data Root: /home/juicysauce/www/forum/
Forum WWW Root: http://justincone.com/forum/

So what doesn't "correspond"?

I have gotten it to work by making all three entries "/home/juicysauce/www/forum/", but that causes many many problems later, e.g. broken images, 404 pages, etc.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
cone

Here is why you are getting that problem. During the installation process the install script puts a file inside the SERVER_ROOT (/home/juicysauce/www/forum/) and then tries to fetch that file by going to WWW_ROOT + that file name.

If this fails you get an error just like the one you've seen (Your WWW_ROOT does not correspond with the SERVER_ROOT path you have specified.)

To fix this problem make sure that http://justincone.com/forum/ == /home/juicysauce/www/forum/.

So that if I were to make a file /home/juicysauce/www/forum/TEST_FILE then by going to to http://justincone.com/forum/TEST_FILE i would be able to see that contents of that file.

okay, i think i understand what's going on, conceptually speaking, but how do i ensure that http://justincone.com/forum/ == /home/juicysauce/www/forum/ ?

do i have to change something on the server? do i need to modify the config.php file or something? (sorry i'm such a newbie about all this. Smile

i hope not. i don't have access to the config file.

thanks again,
justin

btw - you all have done an incredible job with this. i'm dumbfounded not only by the outstanding quality of the forum, but also by the level of support you offer. great job!

This is a not a problem with your server. You do not need to change you apache or php config. I think the problem maybe that you are entering the wrong path in to one of the settings.

If you can meet me on IRC (irc.openprojects.net #fudforum) and I'll guide you through. It is a little difficult for me to do so non real time over the forum.

Hello, the problem next door, i gets just like this error, but the main problem is that in 1st step when i iput the localisation:
Server Root: I:/ssite/dswforum/
Data Root: I:/ssite/dswforum/
WWW Root: http://localhost/dswforum/
or
WWW Root: http://81.190.204.224/dswforum/

the scripts install the forum sooo looong that i gets Server Time Out in half of instalation (the loading line in browser stops in half)

What is the problem? Localisation? PHP config? Apache config? Install sript?

PHP 4.2.3
MySQL 2.23.xx
Win XP Prof. (my home pc)
i try to ver: FUDForum 2.6.0 & 2.6.6

The 1st "problem" you can resolve by setting "allow_url_fopen" setting to "0" or "Off" inside your php.ini settings file.

The 2nd problem is caused by the fact that PHP setting sql safe mofe is enanbled, which means connection parameters cannot be set directly and are taken automatically from php.ini. To solve the problem leave the connection setting fields (aside from table prefix and database name) blank.
