Installation path to binaries

Hi, am looking for some help. I am attempting to install vShare 2.7 on a 1and1 virtual dedicated server. i have installed all the modules needed such as ffmpeg/ffmpeg-php, mplayer, mencoder.... using ssh and putty i can see everything sitting there inside /usr/bin/ but when i type the path into the collect info screen in the install process i always get the errors

• ffmpeg not found : /usr/bin/ffmpeg
• mplayer not found : /usr/bin/mplayer
• mencoder not found : /usr/bin/mencoder
• flvtool2 not found : /usr/bin/flvtool2

any help is much appreciated

Make sure that your PHP installation has safe_mode turned off for your site. Also, make sure that openbase_dir does not have any value listed for it in your PHP configuration.

thanks for your fast response. i have made sure safe_mode is off and there is no value listed for openbase_dir. still getting same errors.

any other ideas as to why?

Mostly it happens due to openbase_dir or safe_mode. What is url of your phpinfo ?

What you get running

Quote:

---

ls -l /usr/bin/ | egrep "ffmpeg|mplayer|flvtool2"

on command prompt ?

was able to fix the problem. Plesk was changing the open_basedir no matter what was written in the php.ini. i had to write a httpd.conf file and put it in my vhost conf directory with the new values and it fixed everything.

You need to verify by checking phpinfo page.

httpd.conf will get rewriten when you make changes to your site through plesk. You need to create a new file and override current settings.

See

Disable open basedir in plesk - WebHostingNeeds.com

thanks for posting that link...that is actually exactly what i did....i miswrote httpd.conf instead of vhost.conf...which is what i meant.

however now im having another issue...everything goes fine until it tries to create the tables with install_create_tables.php. i get a blank white screen with no errors...any ideas for this one?
thanks

Check if you have mbstring php module installed. If you can't get it working, mail me at [email protected] with your FTP login details, i can fix it.
