HI ALL! First post and THRILLED to be here.
I've been very fortunate to discover FUD.
Anyways... I'm a half-wit which is better than the idiot I was 18 months ago.
SO: i have my own server and I have hosted space that's got ALL the bits needed by FUD and I've used it lots with lots of PHP/mySQL apps etc.
SO, the ONE file install has me stumped. AND I'm only using my HOSTED SPACE right now.
1) I upload the install in binary mode.
2) I create the database and user/PW with phpmyadin
3) I created a folder for the files in: /home/domain_folder/public_html/
4) I experimant by creating a FUDforum folder at both the root level AND the same level as 3) above...
5) I manage to get the installed to created the folders in both locations from 3) and 4) above...
6) Then I try to connect to database typing in the right bits and I get the error... access denied to database etc..
IS it possible to simply do a manual install and upload the SQL database with phpmyadmin like I'm used to??
I read the:
"""Web Installation
If you lack shell access or prefer to work with your web browser we have also provided a web installation script. If you lack shell access you will have to decompress the forum tarball etc etc etc>> """
Though it didn't seemn to be wuite what I needed...
it also said:
"""After decompressing the file locally it should produce a forum_install directory. """
does that mean LITERALLY a 'forum_install' directory... I guess not.
The hosting company I use is REALLY great so I guess I've REALLY missed a trick or 6.
Any comments that make me feel REALY REALLY REALLY dumb GREATLY appreciated!!!
I've pretty much gone the distance so any amount of detail is welcomed.
I CANNOT acacess my mySQL database from say, mySQL Manager or any other program residing on my PC I've confirmed. I CAN see via telnet that the myswl is there then the connection drops.
hmmmm...
CAN I EXTRACT ALL the files IN the install.php binary? I run windows XP here on my PC in my room... and will eventually redo my server and have it flying here. I DO REALLY need to have my remote hosted space servering up some FUD!!!!
WOW is it the BEST or WHAT!!!!!!!!!!
thanks...
um, I'm sure I've forgotten something important!
