I was unable to reach your MySQL server using the MySQL connection settings in your nuke config.php file. The exact error message that your MySQL server reported is Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061).

In the folder you unzipped there is an html folder. In that folder you will find a file called config.php. Open that file with an editor ( I like Crimson Editor, and it is free). In there you need to enter the database information on the database you created such as database name, username, and password.

ok so does anybody know where i go from here now that im in the admin? like wheres the forums or picture galleries? and i wana install a shopping cart. thanks

Posted: Fri Jan 12, 2007 1:06 pm

Well forums will be under forums and there isn't a gallery, you will need to install that. You could try something like Gallery 2. I don't know about shopping carts, as I don't use them.

Posted: Fri Jan 12, 2007 2:03 pm

now do u mean like the forms should be in the modules administration cause im at the step where it says to configure it before i configure the nukesentinel as for the gallery i can probably get help on that 1 or just make it it flash or golive. and as for the shopping cart i was referred to this 1 http://www.theguitarfiles.com/CC/CallowaysCart/ thanks for any help. just wish i could find the forums cause it said in the how to install it suppost to be in the modules section and theres nothing there.

Posted: Fri Jan 12, 2007 2:13 pm

ok i found the forms in the html/modules/forums folder but i have no idea how to install it. should i stop this post since i have it all the way installed and seach and then post a new topic about forums somewhere else on this board?

I think you may be getting confused over the modules administration. When you log into admin look at the box below the box showing the Administration Menu. This is the Module Administration menu and the forums should be the 5th icon along on the first line.

Here's the link for integrating Gallery 2:

are you talking about the button below the button edit admins that says modules and is a picture of a cardboard box? if so when i clich it theres nothing there

Modules Administration

Modules and Addons

See your Modules/Addons current status and change it by Activating or Deactivating them.
New Modules copied on the /modules/ directory will be automaticaly added with Inactive status to the database when you reload this page.
If you want to remove a module just delete it from the /modules/ directory, the system will automaticaly update your database to show the changes.

-= WARNING =-
Bold module's title represents the module you have in the Homepage.
You can't Deactivate or Restrict this module while it's the default one!
If you delete the module's directory you'll see and error in the Homepage.
Also, this module has been replaced with Home link in the modules block.

[ · ] means a module which name and link will not be visible in Modules Block

Title | Custom | Title | Status | Visible to | Group | Functions

Nope, but you will need to make sure it is activated in this menu. You need to go down to the modules administration section below.
Another 2 rows down. It should be a monitor and a globe next to it.

ok these are my options i have a monitor and a satalite and another 1 is a globe and a satalite

There should be another row of buttons below all this, under the title Modules Administration. If you don't mind send me PM with the URL and a temp admin login and I can see exactly what you've got.

Posted: Fri Jan 12, 2007 3:18 pm

ok pm sent thanks

Posted: Fri Jan 12, 2007 3:26 pm

OK, i've had a look and i think you've got a problem as there is lots missing. You should have blocks on the left and right as well. Have you added any other modules, or anything since installing? Are sure everything has been uploaded?

Posted: Fri Jan 12, 2007 3:28 pm

yea i just looked on my host and all the files and folders are there

Posted: Fri Jan 12, 2007 3:31 pm

Theres definitely files missing, I tried to access the forum admin by typing the URL while logged in as admin and I'm getting this error.

Template->loadfile(): File ./../templates/subSilver/admin/index_frameset.tpl for handle body is empty

Upload all the files again to make sure.
