Missing config.php, but it is there

Hi.

I have just installed Textpattern on my site. The administration interface is working fine, but the front end writes:
``config.php is not ok or not found. If you would like to install, go to [/subdir]/textpattern/setup/’‘

But the config files is there:
$ ls -l /data/www/virtual/thomasdamgaard.dk/htdocs/textpattern/config.php
-rw-r—r— 1 www-data www-data 291 2006-02-16 14:53 /data/www/virtual/thomasdamgaard.dk/htdocs/textpattern/config.php

My diagnostics page shows this:

Pre-flight check:
All checks passed!

Re: Missing config.php, but it is there

Can you post the first 20 lines of the index.php file in your htdocs folder?

Re: Missing config.php, but it is there

The 20 first lines of my index.php:
(/data/www/virtual/thomasdamgaard.dk/htdocs) head -n 20 index.php
<?php
/*
$HeadURL: http://svn.textpattern.com/development/4.0/index.php $
$LastChangedRevision: 804 $
*/

// Make sure we display all errors that occur during initialization error_reporting(E_ALL); @ini_set(“display_errors”,“1”); if (@ini_get(‘register_globals’)) foreach ( $_REQUEST as $name => $value ) unset($$name); define(“txpinterface”, “public”); // Use buffering to ensure bogus whitespace in config.php is ignored ob_start(NULL, 2048); $here = dirname(FILE); include ‘./textpattern/config.php’; ob_end_clean();

Re: Missing config.php, but it is there

Ok, that looks right.
Where exactly is your config.php file? It should be in the htdocs/textpattern directory (and if the admin page works that implies that it is there). Could you post the contents of your config.php file (removing the ‘user’ and ‘pass’ lines)?

Oops, you already did post the location of your config.php file. What you have posted looks right…

Re: Missing config.php, but it is there

Problem solved!

> Where exactly is your config.php file?

$ pwd
/data/www/virtual/thomasdamgaard.dk/htdocs
$ ls -al /data/www/virtual/thomasdamgaard.dk/htdocs/index.php
-r—r—r— 1 root root 845 2005-08-26 10:33 /data/www/virtual/thomasdamgaard.dk/htdocs/index.php

Thanks for asking that!
I noticed that the file was owned by root:root. That was not right. It should be owned by www-data:www-data. And so it is now. And it works too. :-D

Re: Missing config.php, but it is there

I can paste the config.php anyway if it is of any interest?
<?php
$txpcfg[‘db’] = ‘thomasdamgaarddk’;
$txpcfg[‘user’] = ‘thomasdamgaarddk’;
$txpcfg[‘pass’] = ‘Surethisismyrealpassword;)’;
$txpcfg[‘host’] = ‘localhost’;
$txpcfg[‘table_prefix’] = ‘’;
$txpcfg[‘txpath’] = ‘/data/www/virtual/thomasdamgaard.dk/htdocs/textpattern’;
$txpcfg[‘dbcharset’] = ‘utf8’;
?>
