Numerous Install and Config Problems: a Fix

[Lady800cc]

Hi,
I found numerous problems on install. Some have already been mentioned; here is how I fixed them:

=> Create the .htacess file with the server path to the folder where the config files are: (your server path)/app/settings/

=> genieConfiguration.inc.php: Make sure your web and server separators are "single" slashes and not "double" ie: "/" vs "//"

=>There are serious errors in the pageConstants.inc.php file: A lot of the path concantination strings are wrong: For example the 3 files invokeGenie.php, byebyeGenie.php and authorBio.php are in the /web/common/ folder; but I had to hard code that in (see below) because "common" was missing and the application was looking for them in /web/!

define("PAGE_INVOKE_GENIE",URL_ADDRESS.WEB_SEPARATOR."web".WEB_SEPARATOR."common".WEB_SEPARATOR."invokeGenie.php");
define("PAGE_LOGOUT_GENIE",URL_ADDRESS.WEB_SEPARATOR."web".WEB_SEPARATOR."common".WEB_SEPARATOR."byebyeGenie.php");
define("PAGE_AUTHOR_BIO",URL_ADDRESS.WEB_SEPARATOR."web".WEB_SEPARATOR."common".WEB_SEPARATOR."authorBio.php");

=> pageConstants.inc.php: The line below looks for a folder called "forms"; At least in my ziped copy from 1-13-2005, this folder doesn't even exist!

define("PAGE_FORMS_COMPONENT",URL_ADDRESS.WEB_SEPARATOR."forms");
define("PAGE_ASSOCIATE_DBFIELDS_WITH_FORMTYPE",PAGE_FORMS_COMPONENT.WEB_SEPARATOR."associateDbFieldWithFormType.php");

=>I am still trying to find the expression that tells phpgenie where to find all of the images; because it is looking in the wrong folder!

Was there already a download to fix these issues? or are users left to figure this out on their own. Judging from the post....

I hope this helps some out there
