good luck

Awesome. Thanks JM.

no problem man!

...hmmm, close to what I wanted, but not exact unfortunately.

Ideally I'd like to try and get the setup as follows...

subdomain.domain.com/myblog.php
subdomain.domain.com/yourblog.php
subdomain.domain.com/anotherblog.php
etc.

Anyne here done something like this before?

Thanks, N. =]

lets wait for their reply. I can only afford a .tk domain lol

Haha. ;)

I got a cracking deal on my hosting and domain - couldn't say no.

Tad lost as to your problem.

admin > blog settings > url > absolute url (sub dom + stub file.php)

Ok, I've been trying to get this to work for myself with no luck. I've set the blog to the subdomain, copied over the stub file to said subdomain folder, and adjusted the path. It just comes up blank. So I was wondering, is there a way to use an absolute path instead? The reason I ask is that on my server, my subdomains are located in a folder outside my main httpdocs folder. I.E., my site and the b2evo install are in the root/httpdocs folder, each subdomain are in a root/subdomains/name/httpdocs/ folder.

I'm guessing that you have safe mode enabled if you've done the right "../../../httpdocs/conf" path in your stubs

¥

is that safe mode on the server or b2evo?

On the server.

In your stub, after <?php add the following two lines

error_reporting( E_ALL );
ini_set('display_errors', 'on' );

It should spit out errors for you.

ok, here's what i ended up with:

Warning: main() [function.main]: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/root/subdomains/name/httpdocs/../../../httpdocs/b2news/blogs/conf/_config.php) is not within the allowed path(s): (/root/subdomains/name/httpdocs:/tmp) in /root/subdomains/name/httpdocs/index.php on line 45

Warning: main(/root/subdomains/name/httpdocs/../../../httpdocs/b2news/blogs/conf/_config.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: Operation not permitted in /root/subdomains/name/httpdocs/index.php on line 45

Fatal error: main() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/root/subdomains/name/httpdocs/../../../httpdocs/b2news/blogs/conf/_config.php' (include_path='.:./pear:/usr/share/pear4') in /root/subdomains/name/httpdocs/index.php on line 45

whichs makes me wonder if using the server path instead of what i've got will work....

*edit
Removed extraneous path info ;)

¥

Nope, it'll still fail.

You can *possibly* get by it by creating a .htaccess ( in subdom httpdocs ) with the following

php_value safe_mode = Off 

or a php.ini ( in subdom httpdocs ) with the following :

safe_mode = Off

If not then you can either ask your host or, if you're able, change your sub dom's "home" folder to "~/root/httpdocs/" which is how I run my shared subdoms ... but there's only me that has ftp access to my blogs ;)

¥

Neither one worked, so guess I'll see if my host will do it. I doubt they will, because I seem to remember asking them about turning safe mode off before and they wouldn't, but no harm in asking again. Thanks for your help!

Good luck with your hosts ;)

For the record, thought I'd share what I had to do to fix this, since my subdomain folders were not in the same as my base domain files were.

Ended up having to switch PHP mode from Apache to FastCGI, then make sure there was a stub file in the subdomain folder. Neither the .htaccess file or php.ini worked on my server. Just an extra something someone else can try if they are having the same problem I did. ^_^
