iBlog Pro Forum - pathing/php config error...

[thebimman 0]

I have recently installed the iBog Pro Forum on my website which is hosted with GoDaddy. I followed the setup instructions and everything but 1 thing seems to be working... I've tracked it down to the pathing to wordpress for "deep integration" i.e. require_once('../wp-blog-header.php'); My problem is this code is required require_once('../../wp-blog-header.php'); to make the main forum work... but when i try and log into the "Admin" (settings) part of the iBlog Forum i have to edit the bb-config.php file and change the above code to this require_once('../../wp-blog-header.php'); otherwise i get the following error message... Warning: require_once(/home/content/93/5267893/html/forum/wp-load.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/content/93/5267893/html/forum/wp-blog-header.php on line 12 Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/home/content/93/5267893/html/forum/wp-load.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/php5/lib/php') in /home/content/93/5267893/html/forum/wp-blog-header.php on line 12 which is very frustrating but i'm sure it must be something small that i haven't quite done right with the install... any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Could it be that the relative path (../../) is the problem. Try and use an absolute path from the root.

Yes, I agree with Jackey... We haven't had any problem 'deep' integrating the forum when using Absolute paths.

Thx guys, i'm new to WP, PHP and iBlog Pro can you please give me an example of what i need to use for the Absolute path...?

That depends where on the server that file resides. It could be something like `require_once('/home/flogwww/pub_html/wp/wp-blog-header.php');` but it is not, for sure! You need to figure out the "LOCAL" path on your server (not the "world" URL).

yes, works. just so people know, if you right click in your ftp agent you can prob get a copy url function and past the whole thing after the ftp stuff in. worked for me with my media temple account. I pasted everything after this as instructed in the deep integration video tutorial: ftp://[email protected]

The absolute path of wp-blog-header.php should always be: http://www.website.com/wp-blog-header.php OR http://www.website.com/blog/wp-blog-header.php OR wherever you uploaded all the WordPress files. Thanks, Bryan
