Description

$g_path	URL to your installation as seen from the web browser; this is what you type into the URL field. Requires trailing '/' character. eg. $g_path = 'http://www.example.com/mantis/'; In the following example https protocol is used: eg. $g_path = 'https://www.example.com/mantis/'; Mantis will default this to the correct value. However, in some cases you might need to override the default.
$g_icon_path	This is the URL to the icons (images) directory as seen from the web browser. All Mantis images/icons are loaded from this URL. The default value for this URL is based on $g_path, hence, if you override $g_path, you will have to override this one as well.
$g_absolute_path	This is the absolute path to your installation, it is defaulted to the directory where config_defaults_inc.php resides. This is the path that you see when you make a telnet or ssh connection to the server. You can type pwd to find out. Requires trailing '/' character. eg. $g_absolute_path = '/usr/apache/htdocs/mantis/'; Before Mantis 0.17.3 symbolic links were not allowed due to the way file downloads were handled. This has been fixed.
$g_core_path	This is the path to the core directory of your installation. The default value is usually OK, unless you move the 'core' directory out of your webroot. Requires trailing '/' character.
$g_manual_url	This is the url to the Mantis manual. It is defaulted to the Mantis Online manual. Mantis links to this URL for full documentation, it will also be used in the future to link for the [?] form hints. Requires trailing '/' character.
These path settings are important for proper linking within Mantis. In most scenarios the default values should work fine, and you should not need to override them.

`Hi ! I would like to know if the is a possibility to use dynamic path? Like that : $g_path=(!empty($_SERVER['HTTPS']) ? 'https' : 'http') . '://' . $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] . (!empty($_SERVER['SERVER_PORT']) ? ':' . $_SERVER['SERVER_PORT'] : '') Thanks for your answers.`

I have followed the instalation steps as per your instructions. It seems my paths are messed up or something. I have installed mantis on c:\mantis I am running: Windows NT SERVER 5.1 build 2600 Apache/2.0.53 (Win32) DAV/2 mod_ssl/2.0.53 OpenSSL/0.9.7d SVN/1.1.3 PHP/5.0.3 mysql 4.0.23 My issue is when I try to go to the c:/mantis directory from a web link, all I get is a list of all the files in the directory. Also, when I run: /mantis/admin/index.php it works but when I do a check, this is all I get: Version Mantis requires at least PHP 4.0.6. If you are not running this version or above, you or your administrator will need to upgrade your build of PHP. You are running PHP 5.0.3 Checking your installation Opening connection to database [mantisbugs] on host [localhost:9050] with username [MantisAdmin] 9050 is the port im using for the web server. Any ideas? If I click on "system utilities" ill get a blank page. You help is much appreciated. Thanks, Alex

`I'm not sure if this is true or not, but I remember being told in a training class back in May that on Windows PHP5 would not work properly with MySQL and they recommended we stay with version 4x of PHP until the connection problems were resolved with MySQL. Just thought I'd share that little bit of info. Patti`

I have a problem with Mantis behind an Apache Web Proxy. In effect, when I try to connect to the web application, all works fine but CSS stylesheet, icons and images are not available. So I look for the web source page from my web browser, and I note that the URL of this MISC components are absolute path like http://host/mantis/images/... The problem is that this web host is (of course) not visible from the NET. Moreover the Apache directive "ProxyPassReverse" doesn't work for link href . To resume, my question is : Is it possible to make relative URL to this images like this : href="./images/..." ? Thanks in advance for your answers.
