Missing file?

[Hizson]

After uploading script and going through the install rpocess I get this error:

Missing file: /home/godlyrem/public_html/libs/adodb/drivers/adodb-db_driver.inc.php

ADONewConnection: Unable to load database driver ''

Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /home/godlyrem/public_html/admin/init.php on line 57

I have looked for this file (adodb-db_driver.inc.php
) in the downloaded zip file but it is not included.

Also before running install I get this in requirements page:

Server API CGI mode is likely to have problems.
MSSQL Server Support Not available.
PostgreSQL Support Not available.

How do I solve these issues?

Thank you

Though it's possible to get php scripts running on servers who run them as cgi, I think all who have tried will attest that it's easier to just find a new host. I've been using Below10 host (http://below10host.com/refer/index.php?refid=743175e2ea3433), and they've been good. And they DON'T run php as cgi.

Oh, forgot to mention, this php as cgi isn't just a phpLD problem, all you have to do is google "php as cgi" and you will come up with a slew of tech messageboards for all sorts of php aps that complain about the problems associated with that. So if you intend to install other scripts as well, you're gonna run into the same problem.

Hmm.. I am getting this error too.. and as far as I know my host does not run PHP as CGI and I run scores of other scripts on a number of sites and have never had this problem.

The first screen of the install script will tell you if it's CGI or not, if so it warns there will be problems.

There are quite a few people with this error, all the ones I've looked into are due to the CGI. It's not good.

Hi

I had the same problem. I've changed three hosting and nothing. I had all the time this error.

I think I've solved this problem. It works on my three hosting, so maybe it will help you too.

During installation folder with PphLD must be CHMOD 777. And just after installation it must be changed to 755. For me it works. I know it sounds too easy and a bit stupid but try :)

I hope It will help somebody like it helped me :)

I always chmod 777, but it hasn't helped on some installs.

Thank you for your post :)

Maybe my post wasn't precise enough. Folder containing directory script can't be 777 from the beginning because of 500 error (I taking about my installations on my servers, my providers don't like 777 folders).

What I do looks like that:

I upload files, than chmod main folder 755(!) and rest like in the manual. After starting instalation I get error message, sth about problems with making new database. This is the moment I must change chmod of main folder to 777, press Back in browser and start installation again. When it is finished I must change chmod of main folder again to 755. And really - everything works just great. It works this way on my three hosting so maybe it will help somebody else :)

Well I came back here to check again because my current directory script has a major flaw that is driving me nuts, and I Wanted to give PHP Link a try again.

I was going to try maciuch's tip but I didn't need to .. I think my corruption came from the upload last time. I don't know if I ftped it or file manager unzipped, but this time I installed my test and re-uploaded a few of the bigger files and it installed fine.

Hopefully I can get my template down and then I will begin converting all my directories over.. Looking forward to it and hoping it works :)
