    On boosting a new install of phpwsbb 0.4.0 on a new phpws 9.3 installation, the module fails with the error:

    Warning: direct(): Failed opening '' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/local/www/virtual/66/175/32/204/html//lib/pear/') in /usr/local/www/virtual1/66/175/32/204/html/mod/boost/class/Boost.php on line 210

    Boost says:
    Module Information file missing in phpwsbb

    Help?

      Your problem is due to "//" in the path that includes /html//lib/pear/.  I don't recall the exact prompt, but the initial phpwsbb installation screen has a field that should contain a file path relative to your webserver root.  The default path in that field started with // when I installed phpwsbb.  I deleted the first slash character and phpwsbb installed and runs fine.  If you re-install phpwsbb and delete that first slash character I think the module will install and run without problems.

      Umph! Thanks Bob. But no joy. Removing the extra forward slash just re-generates the error without the extra character:

      Warning: direct(): Failed opening '' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/local/www/virtual1/66/175/32/204/html/lib/pear/') in /usr/local/www/virtual1/66/175/32/204/html/mod/boost/class/Boost.php on line 210

      I'm not understanding why the core files can find the pear dir but this mod (and a couple others) can't. Other mods boost without a problem.

      Anyway, thanks for the reply - any other ideas?

      OK - Solved the failed opening problem - the mod/phpwsbb-0.4.0 directory needed to be renamed mod/phpwsbb. The mod then installs. Trying to add a new topic, however yields:

      ERROR: Module phpwsbb - Template file not found!

      Grrrrr! WHAT template file?

      Hmm you have just messed things a lil bit.
      Since 1st installations I just created a dir in phpws/mod named phpwsbb then uploaded there all new versions and it worked fine till now via boost or /setup.
      Maybe you have renamed some dir ?
      Check config.php under /conf in main dir of your phpws installation.
      Try at least to upload again all files for template error, maybe there was a corruption during transfer.

      Per the instructions found in the INSTALL.txt of the docs directory in your phpwsbb download, yes you must name the module directory just "phpwsbb".

      As for your template issues, what version of phpwsbb are you working with?

        Yes, thanks for pointing that out. As I noted in my previous post, I'm dealing with phpwsbb 0.4.0.

          First off I would try with 0.5.0 just to make sure I'm not trying to troubleshoot something already fixed from 0.4.0.

          We might need to run some sql commands to clear out evidence of phpwsbb from your phpws install just to get a clean palette.
