yes, the thread you were replying to is very old and has been posted in the cpg1.2 support board, which is (as you posted) not the coppermine version you're using. However, this has been asked quite often on the cpg1.3 support board as well. The solution is generic: your server doesn't have all server vars it should have. If it is yours to administer, change the server config accordingly. If you're webhosted and /or can't change the server config, you have two options:
  • edit the place where the server vars are set up / checked: include/init.inc.php
    Quote
    $PHP_SELF = isset($HTTP_SERVER_VARS['REDIRECT_URL']) ? $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['REDIRECT_URL'] : $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['SCRIPT_NAME'];
    (as suggested above)
  • Edit the file you're having issues with, search the code for
    Quote
    <form
    and change the action attribute from
    Quote
    <form action="$PHP_SELF" method="post">
    to the actual filename (for config.php, this would be
    Code: [Select]
    <form action="config.php" method="post"> etc.)

Hi,

same prob here too with coppermine 1.3.2 on lycos webhosting.

First possibility doesnt work for me is there a way to put in directoryname directly, since second possibility gives mixed results
eg catmgr.php "swallows" the dot before php so i have to edit url manually.

Plz help.

I never like to bump a post but I still havent found a fix. I run my own server with EasyPHP1.8. I have everything from that install on. I havent changed anything except putting my website into the www folder. How would I go about inserting these variables into the config. Which config would I edit. I am guessing the php config. I had coppermine installed before on Appserv which the installer included apache 1.3 and php4. I can no longer use it because it searches for a non existing file..... Anyway I have tried everything listed here. Even changing the php_self to config.php did not fix the config.php problem.
