Yes, the c:\path should work. Don't you see the path in your install.php file?

Um, i'm a windoze admin.
So, you should use:
C:/path
Why? Well, usually C:\path is right, but on some machines it works the other way...

Server Path Problem

Dear All,
I have correctly set the server path in the hesk_settings.inc.php according to the install.php requirement and yet it still prompt the following message:
This path should be used for $hesk_settings['server_path']:
C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/htdocs/helpdesk/
Correct server_path setting:
$hesk_settings['server_path'] = 'C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/htdocs/helpdesk/';
What should I do to eliminate this problem? Thanks lots.
Regards...

The install.php will always give that path, even if it is already set.

Finally I can get it to work. It's because PHP 5.1.1 doesn't enable MySQL library automatically during installation.
I need to enable it myself.

You never said you run PHP 5, if you said that before we could have save you a lot of time
Glad you got it working.

OK, I seem to have the same problem
This is the message I get
This path should be used for $hesk_settings['server_path']:
/customers/backgammonempire.dk/backgammonempire.dk/httpd.www/hesk0931/
Correct server_path setting:
$hesk_settings['server_path'] = '/customers/backgammonempire.dk/backgammonempire.dk/httpd.www/hesk0931/';
Is that a correct path?
Also I get a white screen when I test, how to enable MySQL library automatically ?
Hopy you guys can help out

Hi,
If you run PHP5 first enable MySQL, I don't provide support for that, see
http://php.net/mysql
Then try using the path you have (are you sure you are on a WIndows server by the way?).
Then try all the other things suggested on similar topics in this forum.
Then come back with questions.
Regards
