Php help

[kylecool]

I know cgi, but all of the good bbs boards are in php. I got this version of bulleton board lite, and I installed it, but I have a question about databases, and I hate this. If anyone can help, please do. Also take my poll.

Here are the variables. I know u help Brendan, so her eit is. i don't get this databases thing.

// type of database running
// (only mysql is supported at the moment)
$dbservertype="mysql";

// hostname or ip of server
$servername="localhost";

// username and password to log onto db server
$dbusername="kylecool_new";
$dbpassword="";

// name of database
$dbname="Kylecool.com's Forum";

//password needed to enter the control panel
$cppassword="";

I can't setup tese databases and assign usernames. i don't even kno if these variables are corrct.

What is the username that you set up on your HR account? By providing us with this, it will help us resolve your config file, because the variables you have don't look right.

I edited the password out as it showed his password and he didn't realise

Kyle-
This is how I would set it up
// type of database running
// (only mysql is supported at the moment)
$dbservertype="mysql";

// hostname or ip of server
$servername="localhost";

// username and password to log onto db server
$dbusername="kylecool";
$dbpassword="YourPassword";

// name of database
$dbname="kylecool_forums";

//password needed to enter the control panel
$cppassword="YourPassword";

Make sure that you set up a mysql database in your Hostrocket CP, and the name of the database is forums.
Then run the install script and it will be up and running in less than 5 minutes

Actually it should be more like:

// type of database running
// (only mysql is supported at the moment)
$dbservertype="mysql";

// hostname or ip of server
$servername="localhost";

// username and password to log onto db server
$dbusername="kylecool_username";
$dbpassword="YourPassword";

// name of database
$dbname="kylecool_forums";

//password needed to enter the control panel
$cppassword="YourPassword";

ill try to make the satabase thing, but i don't get it too much. im getting better at php though.

[kylecool]

i think i actulally did ut, but i got this error.

Attempting to connect...


Warning: Access denied for user: 'kylecool_kylecool@localhost' (Using password: YES) in /home/kylecool/public_html/vblite/admin/db_mysql.php on line 31

Warning: Supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in /home/kylecool/public_html/vblite/admin/db_mysql.php on line 37

how do i fix this..

[steven]

try the variables that I posted above, and it should work.

[kylecool]

Thanks, but I found a better one. This one is way cooler, and its free. I can now manage and make mysql databases and I can also edit php scripts. I have a basic understanding. Look at it and sign up at
