Forum

I downloaded Mambo-SMF Forum v.1.3.0-stable and the new Login Module.  I installed everything as per the instructions.  The log in module, however, gives me the following errors:
Warning: main(/SSI.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/fantasym/public_html/modules/mod_smf_login.php on line 26

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required '/SSI.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/fantasym/public_html/modules/mod_smf_login.php on line 26

Not sure what is causing this, any help would be appreciated.

Your installation checklist items in the component administration  must be "installed" or "done". And of course you have installed SMF, right?

had the path to the SMF files wrong.  fixed.  thanks alot.

I am receiving the same errors, but even before that when I'm trying to change the Absolute path to the SMF files, it keeps defaulting back to the <SMF path here> in that block, and though I've installed (with packager) twice the red "not installed" next to Install SMFMamboMod.zip  will not go away.
  The login box then looks like the errors he described before.

  Its probably some simple step I forgot to check.. any clues?

Are all the required file permissions writable?

Yes, all four are writeable (green)

The checklist shows "installed"
    "not installed"
    "done"
    "[verify] done"    for those selections.

When I type in "forum" in place of the <SMF path here> the red, "Incorrect path" never changes.

this is weird, it seems like you don't have permission to write on the config file. Do you get any error message when saving? Can you please check the permission on the parent directory ("/administrator/com_smf/").

Yes,
  All directories and files are writeable (I used the site control panel and checked).  I have the SMF files loaded in a directory off the mamboroot directory and it is called "forum"  but when I put "forum" in place of the < stuff> in the absolute location, the letters at the end never change from red.. Incorrect Path.

  Also, the checklist tells me that package hasn't been installed.. but it has, twice!..
                      A suggestion on where to go from here?

Once you get the correct path is inserted in configuration... the latter issue will be solved. Can you just go to your config.smf.php and manually put the correct value.

;D  That was all it took! - Thank you for helping solve the problem.  I don't know why the installer wouldn't change the config file...  When I manually edited the file as you suggested, the rest of the program snapped into place and the whole SMF package worked perfectly.

  The instructions and installation of the SMF-Mambo routines are perfect, aside from that glitch with the SMF absolute location, I had no problems.

  Thank you again,  Ed
