Can't find a php file on root - its there?

[rjtyrell]

Hi,

Sorry for the repeated posts.

I am now getting these issues:

Warning:  include_once(home/thevilla/public_html/fpss/fpss.php)  [function.include-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or  directory in /home/thevilla/public_html/example.php on line 49

Warning:  include_once() [function.include]: Failed opening  'home/thevilla/public_html/fpss/fpss.php' for inclusion  (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in  /home/thevilla/public_html/example.php on line 49
This demo uses the "Movies" template and the sample data that come bundled with the purchase package

The fpss file is sitting on my server and is the sub folder for the php file.  The html which gets me to this point is:-

<?php
         /* Frontpage Slideshow: Setup Steps */
         /* Please refer first to the online documentation here: http://www.joomlaworks.gr/content/view/74/41/ */
        
         // 1. Enter the name of your slideshow
         $slideshow = "myslideshow";
        
         // 2. Enter your site's URL (without trailing slash)
         $siteURL = "http://www.thevillagers.co.uk";
        
         // 3. Enter the absolute path of your site on the server (without trailing slash)
         $sitePath = "home/thevilla/public_html";
        
         // Include the slideshow
         include_once($sitePath."/fpss/fpss.php"); // DO NO EDIT THIS LINE
        
         ?>

         // 3. Enter the absolute path of your site on the server (without trailing slash)
         $sitePath = "";

Thanks again but according to http://www.thevillagers.co.uk/path.php my path is /home/thevilla/public_html which is what I have.

So you're saying you tried my recommendation and still got an error message?

I don't think so.

Take a look here:

http://www.thevillagers.co.uk/fpss/fpss.php

See the pattern in the error messages?

Whoa... then look here:

http://www.thevillagers.co.uk/fpss/slideshows/parameters.php

You got 99 problems and correct file paths are > 1.

I am still working my way through:-

Step 4

Once you fill in those values and provided they are correct, open up your browser and request the example.php page - so you should see something like this: http://www.frontpageslideshow.net/demos/standalone/example.php

My page is http://www.thevillagers.co.uk/example.php

I still get Line 49 errors

The error messages you posted are the same as the original error messages which suggests that you did not perform my recommendation.

Sorry iPHP,

Just been back over the posts and I have changed the html to read:-

// 1. Enter the name of your slideshow
            $slideshow="myslideshow";
           
            // 2. Enter your site's URL (without trailing slash)
            $siteURL="http://www.thevillagers.co.uk";
           
            // 3. Enter the absolute path of your site on the server (without trailing slash)
            $sitePath="/home/thevilla/public_html";
           
            // Include the slideshow
            include_once($sitePath."/fpss/fpss.php"); // DO NO EDIT THIS LINE

Which are the absolute paths as far as I am aware?

Uploading this PHP file I now get errors saying:-

Warning:  require_once(/home/thevilla/public_html/fpss/slideshows/myslideshow/parameters.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/thevilla/public_html/fpss/fpss.php on line 16

Fatal error:  require_once() [function.require]:  Failed opening required  '/home/thevilla/public_html/fpss/slideshows/myslideshow/parameters.php'  (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/thevilla/public_html/fpss/fpss.php on line 16

In regard to this error the files are online on my host server, so this can't be the problem? line 16 in fpss.php relates to:-

require_once(dirname(__FILE__).DS.'slideshows'.DS.$slideshow.DS.'parameters.php');
