I am finishing up an install and everything has checked out well so far. I am getting the following error message:

The system path does not appear to be set correctly. Please open your path.php file and correct the path.

This occurs as you probably know when I click on of the two links that show at the end - go to your site or access control panel - when I click on go to site that is the error message I get. I looked at my path.php file and noticed that it did in fact change the system folder name as is recommended and showed the path as the following which is located in a dir just below my root:

$system_path = "./newname/";

I see there are other variables that can be configured manually - do I go ahead and configure those or leave alone and if I am to configure where do I find the appropriate info to plug in?

Thanks

No- the other variables shouldn’t be affecting it.  You’ll hit that error if the system path is incorrect- basically, if it can’t use it to include the core/core.system.php file.

Odd for it to write to the path file and then get the structure wrong, but…  First thing to double check is that the path is correct.  I assume the system folder is one level down from the path.php and main index.php folders- correct?  That’s where it should be, given the above.  If you’re dead sure the path is correct, could be a corrupt file.  You might try going in, deleting system/core and re-uploading a fresh copy of the core folder.

But the likeliest issue is a bad system path.

Thanks Robin. Got it working about 5 minutes after you posted. As a newbie I’m finding the support from this community quite like none other - friendly, patient, specific, knowledgeable, etc., etc. Kudos!
