Error Converting. Please help?

Hello,

I've never had this problem before with my sites, but I've just installed vshare on this new site of mine and I'm having problems converting videos. As of right now, I've only tried converting .wmv files.

Here is the error I get everytime I try to convert.

Code:

I'm not sure if there's any error message there. I've re-installed twice, by the way, but the problem still persists.

Thank you in advance for any help.

This command is not able to convert video to flv format. If you have ssh access, try running it in command prompt. If not ask the host to verify.

When the script runs convert command

Look like server is not able to execute commands from php scripts.

Safe mode is on ? what is the local value of open_basedir ?

Also post content of include/config.php file after removing database details.

Thank you for your reply.

Here is the content of include/config.php:

Code:

---

<?php

error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE & ~E_WARNING);

session_start();

$db_host    = "";
$db_name    = "";
$db_user    = "";
$db_pass    = "";

$language = "en";

$config = array();
$config['ffmpeg']          =  "/usr/bin/ffmpeg";
$config['mplayer']          =  "/usr/bin/ffmpeg";
$config['mencoder']          =  "/usr/bin/ffmpeg";
$config['flvtool']          =  "/usr/bin/ffmpeg";
$config['basedir']        =  "/home/valvideo/public_html";
$config['baseurl']        =  "http://videos.val-emmich.net";

include($config['basedir'] . "/include/vshare.php");

---

Hmm, are the paths wrong?

You need to change the path in include/config.php same as

$config['ffmpeg'] = "/usr/bin/ffmpeg";

$config['mplayer'] = "/usr/bin/mplayer";

$config['mencoder'] = "/usr/bin/mencoder";

$config['flvtool'] = "/usr/bin/flvtool";


Upload a test video and check its working or not

You need to disbale open_basedir. Now it is set.

None of your php.ini settings are proper. Set it as per

YouTube Clone Server Requirements

Also update path to binary files in include/config.php

Look like requirements are not properly installed on your server.
