Permalink 1 user found helpful
Warning: strpos() [function.strpos]: Empty delimiter in /home2/mudpiesc/public_html/claywithattitude/concrete/libraries/request.php on line 48
any idea about this error? This is a new install in a first time domain.

What is the url that you are using to access the site? (doesn't have to be a live site)

Both were just install and have the same error.

can you open /config/site.php (remove the db info and salt)

Thanks i'll try. That sure removes the function error but creates a database error and still does not access the site. Any other suggestions.

That was a bad job of typing on my part.
the site is http://www.glass-withclass.com or http://www.claywithattitude.com...
Both were just install and have the same error.

Thanks for pointing to a 'bad place'. The DB statements are wrong. Not sure why. Correcting them does not correct the problem.
What would happen if I uninstalled the C5 and re-installed again? Would the same thing happen?
Where is the actual error with the strpos()?

what is password salt and what does it do? Can it be changed without trouble?

sorry, I mean't upload whats left in the site.php not actually delete it. I think that simple scripts might be botching something, try a manual fresh install (download the zip and upload it.)

Where are the instructions for manual install. I can check the files that need to be updated and check the validity? I think that make me feel better if I can find the mistake. Site.php seems OK!

download the zip from concrete5.org, upload the zip and un-zip it

I'm not familiar with unzip on a web server. How is that done?

The problem is in - - -
Site.php, simple script or something else sets DIR_REL to '/'.
There is code to remove this in request.php but something happens when this is done.
solution - - - Go into site.php : change the line in site.php to
define('DIR_REL', '');
and all in well.

I would still like to check the manual install to see if this happens there also. How to I unzip on the server??
