[NO ISSUE] - TestLink1.9.4 and 1.9.5 installations fails

[sn82w]

Hi Am trying to install the testlink version both 1.9.4 and 1.9.5.
But am getting the error like below
"Checking if /var/testlink/logs/ directory exists [S] Failed!
Checking if /var/testlink/upload_area/ directory exists [S] Failed! "

Please any one can help me to resolve this error.

[fman]

Installation is not failing, installer is saying that these folders does not exists.
have you given a look to the forum section specific to 1.9.4 ?
IMHO no => http://www.teamst.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=7007

As you can see is not important how hard we work if people do not spend 5 minutes trying to get the answer from our (sometime poor documentation).

[sn82w]

I have done below changes in Changes in the config.inc.php

$tlCfg->log_path = TL_ABS_PATH . 'logs' . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR ;
$g_repositoryPath = TL_ABS_PATH . "upload_area" . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR;

now am able to install the testlink1.9.4 version. need to check it for 1.9.5 version also.

[fman]

The ONLY good practice is DO NOT DO ANY change on config.inc.php, we have created custom* file for this purpose.

[sn82w]

thats fine.
But with out those changes am not able to continue the installation.

[fman]

wrong, you have to do the changes on custom_config.inc.php.

[sn82w]

with out below changes in the config.inc.php file installation is not successful.

$tlCfg->log_path = TL_ABS_PATH . 'logs' . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR ;
$g_repositoryPath = TL_ABS_PATH . "upload_area" . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR;

Can you share the information on what are changes need to be done in custom* file....

[fman]

We supposed that logic has been clear from the beginning (there is a custo*example file)
1. copy lines from config.inc.php to custom_config.inc.php
2. do changes on custom_config.inc.php
things has to work
(just done on one installation 5 minutes ago)

Is impossible that addition of JUST TWO lines on custom_config.inc.php produce the effect indicated here.
IMHO you have copied more that needed
Then think best choice is : work in the way you like if is the way that allows you to use the product, but you are warned that you are going to need on next TestLink upgrade to compare changes you have done to all standard files with new files.

[lchydp]

To this solution,my understanding is,
1.Don't change anything in config.inc.php.
2.Make a copy to "custom_config.inc.php.example" and rename it to "custom_config.inc.php".
3.Do the changes in "custom_config.inc.php".
Am I right

things has to work

@lchydp
custom_config.inc.php exists (as happens on mantisbt) to allow customization without touch defaults
that can be overwrited while installing a new version.
Steps that you have described (steps that I've adviced on past) are the right procedure

Thank you very much!
