incorrect path to files

[Will]

Hi
I've installed a copy of WebsiteBaker 2.6.2 and everything seemed to be working fine.  Just now I tried to insert a picture into a WYSIWYG page from the Media function.  When I saved the page the picture disappeared and a red cross replaced it. 

It seems that it was looking for the file in "http://media/b2.png" when of course the file is actually under "http://mydomain.com/media/b2.png", it also did a similar thing when trying to submit a form.

Any idea what is going on?

Sorry if this has been dealt with before, I searched before posting but couldn't find anything (probably not looking in the right places)

Hello,

can you look to your config(.)php. Maybe the pathes there are not correct.

Why did you use WB 2.6.2. The latest version is 2.6.4. I recommand to use 2.6.4 because there are fixed a few bugs.

Also the default WYSIWYG Editor is a little bit outdated. Look at the Add-ons Repository for FCKEditor or XINHA Modul. This are additional WYSIWYG Editors. Install them as modul and activate them in settings - show advanced options.

thanks for the quick response
had a look in the config(.)php and it all seems fine.  i used 2.6.2 because, being lazy, I used elefante script installer which bundles version 2.6.2, i'm just in the process of upgrading to 2.6.4 as i type.

i'll install those other ediots as well.

cheers,

Will

EDIT - problem still not solved after upgrade, unlikely to me a problem with the WYSIWYG editor as have also had the same problem when trying to submit a form, looks for the file locally.

Hello

config(.)php ... all seems fine

Your errors are typical for wrong pathes in this file. Can you post the four lines with the pathes?

Four lines from config(.)php -

Code:

define('WB_PATH', dirname(__FILE__));
define('WB_URL', 'http://thbc.wtpictures.com/');
define('ADMIN_PATH', WB_PATH.'/admin');
define('ADMIN_URL', 'http://thbc.wtpictures.com/admin');

Hello,

you use a free hoster? Can it be that your Url is redirected?.

think the problem is the WB Path. Is taken as Variable wich didn't work with some free hosters. Ask your hoster for the absolute path and hardcode it. Should be something like
"/www/htdocs/thbc/wtpictures.com".

it's paid hosting, but is a subdomain on my top level domain.
As far as I know the absolute path is - /home/www/thbc.wtpictures.com.

How would I hardcode that in to WB and do you think it will help?

[ruebenwurzel]

Hello,

with phpinfo() you should get the path.

including in WB only change one line in config(.)php. Change

Code:

define('WB_PATH', dirname(__FILE__));

to

Code:

define('WB_PATH', '/home/www/thbc.wtpictures.com');

Matthias

Edit:
Saw in your config(.)php a little issue please change first

Code:

define('WB_URL', 'http://thbc.wtpictures.com/');

to

Code:

define('WB_URL', 'http://thbc.wtpictures.com');

without the slash at the end. Maybe this solves your problems.

Hi,
I'm having the same problem, on 2.6.5 with hosting on resellerspanel.
Was there a resolution to it, or is it to do with the paths in the config.php and the hosting company?
Many thanks!

I'm still having problems with this. I've tried a couple of different installs and it seems consistent. It does the same thing with images too.

I've added a new form call test. When I click submit, it seems to loose it's path back, so goes from this:

http://netlifedesign.com//pages/test.php

to this:

http://pages/test.php

and so returns an error.

Any help would be very gratefully received as I've really no idea!

Best regards,

Dave

Hello,

please double check your config.php. There is a double "//" in the Url wich comes from a "/" to much in config.php. It is the same as i already described a few posts above. So please before posting read the threads and follow the advices.
