Installation & Configuration

How can I fix path problems on a GoDaddy.com Nucleus installation?

Scenario:
"I'm trying to install Nucleus on GoDaddy and I'm having some trouble with configuring my paths. What can I do to solve this?"

Solution:
GoDaddy paths seem to be configured differently to other hosts. You will need to edit your config.php in your root to have the following path:

// main nucleus directory
$DIR_NUCLEUS = '/home/content/a/b/c/abc/html/nucleus/';

// path to media dir
$DIR_MEDIA = '/home/content/a/b/c/abc/html/media/';

// extra skin files for imported skins
$DIR_SKINS = '/home/content/a/b/c/abc/html/skins/';

where "abc" are the first 3 letters of your username.

If you have installed Nucleus in a subdomain, your path will be

/home/content/1/2/3/username/html/name-of-subdomain-directory
