I cant figure out why I keep getting this error:

ERROR: 'couch' folder should reside in the main web-site folder

My site is at a url like the following: www.thisismyurl.com/home

My admin folder is at a url like the following: www.thisismyurl.com/home/couch

Any help would be great. Thanks.
Hi,

I'd like to take a look at the problem myself.
If your site is publicly hosted, would it be possible for you to allow me access to it?
Please PM me the FTP/Couch credentials if so.
Hi,

Haven't had a chance to take a look at your site myself so I'll hazard a guess at the cause of the problem -
On some hosts Couch has problems in figuring out the path it is running from (usually happens on hosts using NFS).
To fix this you can specify your site's URL in config.php.
Please find the following lines within config.php -
Code: Select all
   
    // 1.
    // If neccesary, define the full URL of your site including the subdomain, if any.
    // V.IMP: Don't forget the trailing slash!
    //define( 'K_SITE_URL', 'http://www.test.com/subfolder1/subfolder2/mysite/' );

- uncomment the 'define' and add the full URL of your site (including the sub-folder and ending slash).
In your case, it should look like -
Code: Select all
   
    // 1.
    // If neccesary, define the full URL of your site including the subdomain, if any.
    // V.IMP: Don't forget the trailing slash!
    define( 'K_SITE_URL', 'http://www.thisismyurl.com/home/' );

Please let me know if doing this solves the problem.

Let me tell you that this is the first such report of this error hence, if the above fix does not work, I'd really want to access your installation to find out what is happening.

Thanks.
