Advanced Poll Does Not Work Properly From A Subdirectory

PFDogs — GMT

This is gonna be hard to explain, but here I go:

My site is located at http://www.mysite.com/mypage/

Advanced Poll has been installed to http://www.mysite.vom/mypage/poll and is working properly.

Here is the problem: When I click on the Vote or View Results buttons from http://www.mysite.com/mypage/index.php, the poll works fine. But when I click on the Vote or View Results buttons from http://www.mysite.com/mypage/ it says "http://www.mysite.com/mypage/mypage could not be found"!!!

The Vote and View Results links are not being generated properly. Is there a way to fix this?

Check the base url setting in the include/config.inc.php file.

[code] $pollvars['base_url'] = "/mypage/poll";
$pollvars['base_gif'] = "/mypage/poll/image";[/code]

If it doesn't help, post again.

Thanks for the reply, amber222.

I do not have those lines in my include/config.inc.php file. Should I add them?

Here is a copy of my current include/config.inc.php file:

/**
*
* MySQL -> class_mysql.php
* PostgreSQL -> class_pgsql.php
*
*/

$POLLDB["dbName"] = "****";
$POLLDB["host"] = "localhost";
$POLLDB["user"] = "*****";
$POLLDB["pass"] = "*****";
$POLLDB["class"] = "class_mysql.php";

/* tables */

$POLLTBL["poll_config"] = "poll_config";
$POLLTBL["poll_index"] = "poll_index";
$POLLTBL["poll_data"] = "poll_data";
$POLLTBL["poll_ip"] = "poll_ip";
$POLLTBL["poll_log"] = "poll_log";
$POLLTBL["poll_comment"] = "poll_comment";
$POLLTBL["poll_user"] = "poll_user";
$POLLTBL["poll_tpl"] = "poll_templates";
$POLLTBL["poll_tplset"] = "poll_templateset";

?>

No don't add anything there isn't already a space for. Hold off and see if Auron shows up or visit his site.

Change it in the Admin Panel under General Settings.

Do what Amber said straight after you login otherwise you'll get
redirected back the the login screen.

Thanks for the help.

Both of of those settings are correct in the admin panel. Is there anything else I can do?

Auron — GMT

Well, does it now work?

It still does not work when the poll is used from http://www.mysite.com/mypage/

But it does work when the poll is used from http://www.mysite.com/mypage/index.php

Here is an example of the "View Results" links that are generated:

Not working: http://www.mysite.com/mypage/mypage?action=results&poll_ident=4 (That extra mypage part was not added by me! It was added by the poll!!!)

Working:
http://www.mysite.com/mypage/index.php?action=results&poll_ident=4

OK, I have setup I live example for you to see.

These are working links:

The poll will work from here: http://advancedpollerror.no-ip.info/mysite/index.php

But it will NOT work from here:
http://advancedpollerror.no-ip.info/mysite/

(FYI: Advanced Poll has been installed to http://advancedpollerror.no-ip.info/mysite/poll and the general URL settings are correct.)

Does anyone have any other suggestions???

Or is this just a bug???

Auron — GMT

The link does work that you say isn't working.

Of course the link works! Try to vote or view the results. That is what doesn't work.

It's looking for a file named mysite, which doesn't exist.
[code]

PFDogs — GMT

There is only one file and it's named index.php

Here is the code for index.php

[code] // Important! You have to include it before your html code
include_once "poll/poll_cookie.php";
?>

include_once "poll/booth.php";
echo $php_poll->poll_process(4);
?>

[/code]

amber222 — GMT

Are you using the full path? Don't know if it will make a difference or not:

[code]include_once "/home/user/public_html/poll/booth.php";[/code]

If I use the full path (in this case: /mysite/poll/booth.php) the poll does not appear at all and I get PHP errors.
