Howdy,
We are doing the test install on a site that is in developement.
The client wants to switch hosting providers, and we have set up a testing server with a new one. The new hosting provider allows web access by going http://servername.com/accountname/files.html

We and started the set-up, got past setting up the passwords, and then we received an error: The paths appear to be incorrect in the calendar.php file.

Easy PHP listed the urlPath in 'calendar.php' back to the servers root. We changed that to a direct address (http://servername.com/accountname/calendar/), and to '/accountname/calendar/', and all of the variations that we could think of to get it to the right directory. Nothing. Same error message.

Our gut says that if you enter a path that anyone could use to access 'calendar.php', it should be able to find the calendar files. Right?

:confused: Any ideas?

Plan B would be to wait until we switch the domain to the new server....

The URL path should usually be "/calendar/". The full HTTP address isn't required.

Your new host may need to help you find the server root path. It's generally much longer than /accountname/calendar.

I think the script nailed it since it had the root path as
'/home/accountname/public_html/calendar/' and it did not work.

I'll check with them to confirm. Thanks for the info.
