I have my pgv install at /home/flfn/www/pgv
I have my drupal install at /home/flfn/www/drupal
The Drupal pgv plugin asks for a path relative to docroot. I tried ../pgv but it does not work. Since PHP include() and require() functions use full system path info, can you rewrite this to allow a full system path? If not, where can I go in your source to write the code myself?

I believe I've run afoul of this as well.

With my hosting I've set up the folders
~/sub.domain.tld - for my PGV install
~/domain.tld - for my drupal install

I set up a redirect with .htaccess from domain.tld/sub to sub.domain.tld but the features I was looking for like the automatic account creation and login doesn't work. Is there a work around? I don't wish to move PGV into a folder into the drupal install folder if possible.

I have my genealogy site on one host at www.thissite.com and my Drupal site on another host at www.thatsite.net. This gives me a PhpGedView base directory of http://www.thissite.com, doesn't it? PhpGedView module asks for an internal path for internal links and menus, which I have set as 'genealogy', with a corresponding folder in the Drupal site. The menu link generated ends up looking for a page that does not exist, so I get a 404. I have tried all changes I could think of, including uninstalling/reinstalling. I did try installing in a folder under my Drupal site as an experiment and all worked, but I want the genealogy site to be stand-alone also. I have read http://drupal.org/node/109166, among others and either it doesn't apply to my problem or am too dense to understand.
Questions:
1) When setting up the PhpGedView module for use with an external installation is it NOT possible for the external genealogy site to be on a different host?
2) What "internal links and menus" are the "internal path" for and how should it be configured for this type of installation?

Drupal 5.2
MySQL database 5.0.45
PHP 4.3.11

The PhpGedView maintainers wanted this code moved to their repository, which is why there are no files here any more. I removed all the code from this project at their request. All further work must be done in the PhpGedView repository.

I'm closing the remaining issues and unpublishing the project page.
