trunker Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 Hello, I am a PHP noob and am moving a website over to my godaddy deluxe account. I have created the database, imported the tables etc and I am getting a lot of errors which look like a document root problem. Here is the site I am moving (in working condition) http://www.flbiz4sale.com Here is where I am moving it to and eventually point my records to: http://www.paradiseprotech.com/flbiz My configure.php file looks like this <?php define('DIR_DOCUMENT_ROOT', $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['DOCUMENT_ROOT']); define('DIR_INCLUDES', DIR_DOCUMENT_ROOT . '/includes/'); define('DIR_SHARED', DIR_INCLUDES . 'shared/'); define('DIR_TEMPLATES', DIR_INCLUDES . 'templates/'); define('DIR_CLASSES', DIR_DOCUMENT_ROOT . '/classes/'); define('DIR_CONNECTION', DIR_DOCUMENT_ROOT . '/Connections/'); define('DIR_SCRIPT_LIB', DIR_DOCUMENT_ROOT . '/ScriptLibrary/'); define('DIR_IMAGE_PATH', DIR_DOCUMENT_ROOT . '/images/'); include(DIR_SHARED . 'configure_site.php'); include(DIR_SHARED . 'functions.php'); ?> Any help will be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

jonsjava Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 either edit your php.ini, or add this in an .htaccess file: php_flag register_globals on Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/106995-document-root-issue-sub-directory-on-godaddy/#findComment-548427 Share on other sites More sharing options...
trunker Posted May 23, 2008 Author Share Posted May 23, 2008 OK I tried adding that line to the .htaccess file and then I got an internal server error. I then edited the php.ini file and changed global from off to on. But still experiencing the same symptoms... ??? Thanks Jon for the quick replies. T.

trunker Posted May 23, 2008 Author Share Posted May 23, 2008 Jon, what I did was change register_globals = off to register_globals = on Is this correct? Thanks!

BlueSkyIS Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 did you restart apache after changing php.ini? Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/106995-document-root-issue-sub-directory-on-godaddy/#findComment-548439 Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildteen88 Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 The errors has nothing to do with register_globals. This line: define('DIR_DOCUMENT_ROOT', $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['DOCUMENT_ROOT']); should be: define('DIR_DOCUMENT_ROOT', $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . 'flbiz/'); Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/106995-document-root-issue-sub-directory-on-godaddy/#findComment-548449 Share on other sites More sharing options...
trunker Posted May 23, 2008 Author Share Posted May 23, 2008 OK I tried that and did not get any change...I thought that would work though, it makes sense. Any other ideas?

trunker Posted May 23, 2008 Author Share Posted May 23, 2008 To specify what I tried, I tried changing the define line as suggested by the super mod. Blue - Can I restart godaddy's server? ???

trunker Posted May 23, 2008 Author Share Posted May 23, 2008 Solved! Wildteen88 was right, just forgot a "/" in front of flbiz...I caught it and fixed it. Many Thanks for all the time you have saved me. What a great resource!

wildteen88 Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 You might want to fix your html/css as your layout is screwed in firefox.

trunker Posted May 23, 2008 Author Share Posted May 23, 2008 One more question. Take a look at the link locations of the buttons here: http://www.paradiseprotech.com/flbiz/ When I change the DNS records over to flbiz4sale.com - Will that change the paradiseprotech.com link? - I sure hope so!

trunker Posted May 23, 2008 Author Share Posted May 23, 2008 Yeah I noticed that. Not really sure how to fix that one. Any suggestions. Thanks! Trunk.
