Installation - server help

Hi all,

This is the problem I am getting:

Thank you in advanced,

Your base directory setting is wrong.

Hi, I had the same problem, I was able to fix it by adding /home/username/public_html/path_to_script

But it continue with an issue on line 17:

Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent

Both temporary and session folders were 777, I cleaned the sessions in there, restarted the browser and the problem was fixed leading to another issue this time on index.php

Fatal error: Call to a member function recordcount() on a non-object in /home/muiomuio/public_html/perguntas/index.php on line 23

I only changed the values I had to change on config.php file. How may I fix this?

[muiomuio]

Seems I've forgot an important step. The recordcount() Fatal Error happens because there is no record to count, I believe.

How to fix it:
Import Answers.sql, you can find it in the installation folder and your script should be working fine.

Hope this post helps future users.

Glad you got is resolved, that step is part of the installation instructions.

[muiomuio]

I know but with all the troubleshooting it kinda got forgotten.
Still I'd like to make the recommendation of trying to fix the installation path issue. In my case Filezilla does not show home/username/folder starts directly with the /folder and trying to figure out the full path for the basedir might be overwhelming for some users.

Regards,
Mario

The path is usually listed in your web hosting control panel, or you can get it from your web host.
