Gday

im new to phpvms and can’t wait to start using it. unfortunately i came across this error during installation

Fatal error: Call to a member function get_results() on a non-object in /home/a7379017/public_html/core/classes/DB.class.php on line 280

i tried a reupload of the files but that didnt help.

Thanks

Hey there,

What version of phpVMS? Also what PHP version and MySQL version?

Thanks!

3

php version- 5.2.10

Mysql version- unsure

phpVMS version- 1.2.700

4

Try reuploading all the files. Which page is this on? Does the “check database connections” work on the installer page?

5

ok nope i was missing a heap of files i went to the beta, i got all the pages and permissions set followed the instructions and now i have this error

Fatal error: Class ‘DB’ not found in /home/a7379017/public_html/core/common/SiteData.class.php on line 25

is this becasue of the database as localhost isnt the name of the database

thanks

6

do i have to manually make local.config.php ? because it asks me to make a blank copy with right permissions, not sure if that is normal or not.

Wait, are you mixing files between the beta and release?

Do just the release version, make sure everything is uploaded and proper. If you search the forum, it’s come up before, it was a corrupted file.

Install might not work properly on beta

If it can’t create it (doesn’t have the right permissions), then you have to… in the /core folder create a file called local.config.php and make sure it’s writable… it has to be completely empty (size 0)

You can make the permissions of the core folder 777 and try again, maybe it will be able to make it automatically then

ok , i havent mixed the two types i just switched, is the release version meant to have

lib/rss/

lib/signatures

lib/avatars

these directories are missing, i think as they were there when i followed the tutorial, maybe they werent in there dont know. lol

thanks
