I'm Getting This error can you help please. Everything is where it should be

Unable to locate the RavenNuke™ configuration file - INCLUDE_PATHrnconfig.php

It could be missing or not readable. Please verify that the file exists and is readable in the root folder.

Thanks in Advance

I believe this has been discussed before, please search the forums.

I normally get that with install scripts, with that I just add:

Code:

require_once("mainfile.php");

right before the very first "include()" or "require()"

I had a similar issue, and that should fix it. But if that doesn't work you can try adding

if(!defined('INCLUDE_PATH')) define('INCLUDE_PATH', '');

in the same place horrorcode mentioned

I'm having this problem with flashchat.

I've tried three different things at the top of the /chat/flashchat.php file and nothing is working. So, the chatroom isn't working.

require_once("mainfile.php");
require_once("../mainfile.php");
and
if(!defined('INCLUDE_PATH')) define('INCLUDE_PATH', '');

Any more ideas?

btw, I've had this module for phpnuke working before the rn2.3 upgrade.
The flashchat program is already installed, but just throws the rnconfig error.

not sure if this is the perfect approach, but try:
if(!defined('INCLUDE_PATH')) define('INCLUDE_PATH', '../');

(assuming the chat folder is in your root dir)

I'm putting the line in the flashchat.php ... not sure if that is the correct file, but it's the file that wants to load, but it can't find rnconfig.

Anyways, I tried if(!defined('INCLUDE_PATH')) define('INCLUDE_PATH', '../'); and that isn't working either.

Sad

What is the actual file being executed? Is it /chat/flashchat.php ? Or is this included from somewhere else?

I used flash chat before.
I have the same problem when trying to re-install.

what ever file is throwing the error, needs to be able to find your root directory..
try
if(!defined('INCLUDE_PATH')) define('INCLUDE_PATH', '../../');
or
if(!defined('INCLUDE_PATH')) define('INCLUDE_PATH', '../../../');
see if one of those work Smile

The file throwing the error is:
http://mydomain.ca/chat/flashchat.php
I've tried ../ and ../../ and ../../../

I'm not trying to reinstall, because it was installed and working before I did the rn2.3 upgrade on the site.

flashchat.php calls
require_once('inc/common.php');

Should I try to put the line in common.php?
But that calls a few more files...

<arrrrgggggg>

Does anyone have a download of this? If anyone can supply me with a download i will get this to work.

I sent Palbin a link. Thanks for helping sort this out.

@Palbin
The problem is usually caused by a third party script calling config.php directly instead of getting the data from mainfile.php, because the INCLUDE_PATH which config.php is looking for is defined in mainfile.
I just added an if(!defined(.... into config.php as I test a lot of old scripts.

Flashchat has a config.srv.php file which contains the db info. I'm guessing it's populating this file with info from nuke config.php but it can't find the config.php because config.php is calling rnconfig.php?????

First of all I recommend that anyone wnating to use flash chat use the latest version 5.0.11
http://www.tufat.com/s_flash_chat_chatroom.htm

To make 5.0.11 work you need to edit /chat/inc/cmses/phpNukeCMS76.php
Find: Line 15

Code:




if( is_file($phpnuke_root_path.'config.php') )

Add this before line 15

Code:




if(!defined('INCLUDE_PATH')) define('INCLUDE_PATH', $phpnuke_root_path);

If you are using an earlier version of flashcat that doesn't offer 7.6 as an option you will have to edit the 7.3 file /chat/inc/cmses/phpNukeCMS73.php
Find: Line 13

Code:




require_once($phpnuke_root_path.'config.php')

Add this before line 13

Code:




if(!defined('INCLUDE_PATH')) define('INCLUDE_PATH', $phpnuke_root_path);

I could just HUG ya!! :clap:

Gave up trying to get FCv4+ working. I've installed FC v5.0.11. Good plan too!Except I had to edit php.ini and add a never heard of before extension. :/

The only file edit required for RN is just as you say above. Do it before installation.

There were some big structural changes to FlashChat v5. I'm not surprised I can't get my old FlashChat block to work.
