Full Path To Script Installation?

[webgyrl]

Hey gang!

 

I installed a script on one of the sites I do work for and I need to change one of the config php files to show the full path to my script installation.

 

The guy who wrote the script said it should look something like this:

"/home/yourname/public_html/observatory"

 

would my path be:

"/home/indiemanagers/public_html/observatory"?

 

Basically I have to change this part of the config file:

>#-----------------------------------------------------------------------
# PATH SETTINGS
#-----------------------------------------------------------------------
# Jamroom will try to auto-detect the path that it's scripts are running
# in, but on some servers this may not work 100% of the time.  Leave
# this at the default unless Jamroom tells you to change it.  Default is
# "detect" - any other value and Jamroom will attempt to use it as the
# ABSOLUTE path to the jamroom scripts.  Note that this must be the
# absolute path - i.e. /full/path/to/jamroom (note no trailing slash)
$config['jamroom_path'] = 'detect';

# if the $config['jamroom_path'] setting has been set to something OTHER
# then detect you must enter the URL for Jamroom here as well so Jamroom
# knows how to resolve relative URLS within its scripts.  Leave this at
# the default "detect" unless you have modifed the value above this one.
# if you do need to put an entry in, put it in like so:
# http://path/to/jamroom - note there is no trailing slash "/".
$config['jamroom_url'] = 'detect';

#-----------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Thanks for the help.

would my path be:

"/home/indiemanagers/public_html/observatory"?

Yes, if it is in a folder called observatory in the public_html folder and your domain folder is indiemanagers.

yessir, it is in a folder called 'observatory'...

 

will try that and see if I can get this baby working!

 

Thanks Bruce!

Arghhh it didn't work!

$config['jamroom_url'] = 'http://www.indiemanagers.com/observatory';

 

Got this error:

ERROR! Jamroom is unable to determine the path to its scripts - verify the entries in config/settings.cfg.php.

 

Could it be anything else?

 

The observatory folder is in the public_html folder.

The part after /home/ should be your CPanel username. indiemanagers is not your username, it is too long.

[webgyrl]

OK Rick will give that a shot

[TCH-Don]

instead of

># http://path/to/jamroom - note there is no trailing slash "/".
$config['jamroom_url'] = 'http://www.indiemanagers.com/observatory';

 

did you try

 

># http://path/to/jamroom - note there is no trailing slash "/".
$config['jamroom_url'] = '/home/cpanelname/public_html/observatory';

[webgyrl]

just gonna try that Don! Thanks for reading the post!

 

[webgyrl]

Hmmm that is strange.. I am still getting a template error.

 

This thing is really tough!

 

Thanks guys.

[TCH-Don]

Ok I see I did not read close enough,

there are two places for the path.

first the home path

then the url

 

does this work (with your own cpanel name) in the first path.

$config['jamroom_url'] = 'http://www.indiemanagers.com/observatory';

 

and did you try it first with the detect left in?

[webgyrl]

Heya Don!

 

Yes I tried and tried and tired with detect in there and it didn't work. The person who wrote the script told me to put in the full path and try that.

 

Looks like we got it working now.

TCH-Rick had it right then
