what host are you on?

What web-host are you with

Did you install everything that it says on the files you uploaded

Author:  rm249 [ Tue Jun 14, 2005 9:30 pm ]
Post subject: 

did you set the host as YOUR host.... example if you are on farvista.ne and your user is abc, your site would be abc.farvista.net .... for your mysql host you MUST set the host as farvista.ne NOT localhost / abc.farvista.net.... do you understand... this is a common mistake :D

then make up ur own password??

you create it from within the CP, under "Manage MySQL Databases" create your db, name it whatever you want.... then your host would be farvista.net and your db name & password would be abc_db and your password will be what you set :D

you did not upload all of the required files correctly :( try re-uploading it because I went to your site and the images were missing and the style was messed up :D

Author:  yngwiethps [ Wed Jun 15, 2005 12:19 am ]
Post subject: 

okay, so re-upload all the files?
the smiles and avatars work

Author:  rm249 [ Wed Jun 15, 2005 12:24 am ]
Post subject: 

when I went to your site it went directly to the install page.... and it didn't look like how it was supposed to :(

Author:  yngwiethps [ Wed Jun 15, 2005 12:25 am ]
Post subject: 

No, thats correct. After you host all the files and you try to go to the index or w/e it will take you there. after you install it the forum will show up.

I was looking around and do I have to host the database folder in the mysql?

Post subject: 

what website are you going to, because when I go to this site: http://yngwiethps.goldeye.info/phpBB2/ it redirects me to http://yngwiethps.goldeye.info/phpBB2/i ... nstall.php :( which means that it did not install correctly

i got one question before i go


once you set up your database, and you log in. how do you upload files to your db?

Author:  rm249 [ Wed Jun 15, 2005 12:57 am ]
Post subject: 

you dont "upload" files to your DB, you can import them, is this what you re talking about?

Author:  yngwiethps [ Wed Jun 15, 2005 12:59 am ]
Post subject: 

yeah, how do i import?

Author:  rm249 [ Wed Jun 15, 2005 1:02 am ]
Post subject: 

ok login to your control panel and go to the PHPmySQLAdmin and click your database name on the left side... then click SQL and browse for your file and it will run all lf the SQL queries :D
