Installation

It took a few days for my DNS to resolve. I started uploading files and folders through my FTP (RavenNuke) while i was waiting for the DNS to resolve. Now when i go to www.sneakydudes.net i see folders instead of the Warning

There seems to be a problem with the MySQL server - Sorry for the inconvenience.

Please report this to the Administrator ASAP.

We should be back shortly.

I then tried to upload my rn_core.sql through pHpmyadmin and receive this error.

#1142 - DROP command denied to user xxxxxxx for table '_authors'

Maybe is hould just start over?

You don't have RavenNuke files loaded to your server. You need to read the HowToInstall. RavenNuke database tables are loaded through a web based installer script.

Yes you need to download the package off of this site and upload that with what ever you have on there already. The How To Install is a god place to start.

As for the DROP issue in phpmyadmin you will need to wait for Raven on that one.

phpmyadmin has limited privileges. You can't "upload my rn_core.sql" through phpmyadmin. As Nuken and Palbin have said, you need to look at the instructions in the HowToInstall manual.

In the INSTALLATION folder you will find a file called installSQL.php. This is the program that uses the rn_core.sql to create your tables. This avoids the privilege problems you are seeing with phpmyadmin. One of the things that you will need to do is set up your database name, username and password in the config.php file first. Again, there are instructions about that in the HowToInstall area. It doesn't sound like you have that set correctly either.

Getting started we all know that these things can be confusing and even overwhelming. So please feel free to post questions here but also please just set some time to read through the instructions a few times and take notes and try them.

I have uploaded everything inside my RavenNuke HTML folder to my Public Html. I now get a blank screen at my website with no errors. So i decided to try the next step

http://www.xxxxxx.net/INSTALLATION/installSQL.php

I now get an error

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_LNUMBER in /home2/lug/public_html/config.php on line 61

which i think is

$dbname = 'lug_xxxxxx';

I went on and deleted the entire DB and user accounts and started all over.I the recreated another database giving the user full access to the db.

Manage User Privileges
User: lug_xxxxxxx
Database: lug_xxxxx

$dbhost = 'localhost';
$dbuname = 'lug_xxxxx ;
$dbpass = 'xxxxxxxxxxxx';
$dbname = 'lug_xxx ';
$prefix = 'nuke';
$user_prefix = 'nuke';
$dbtype = 'MySQL';

I still get a blank screen

Edit: fkelly, substituted xxx's for items that should not be posted. Original had xxx's for password at least.

Generally you should copy the html directory within your distribution to its own directory within public_html. So config.php should be in a /html directory. Don't think this is causing your problem. You don't have a single quote closing the $dbuname, that is.

As noted, I edited your post. By putting the full path to INSTALLATION/installSQL.php you were inviting trouble.

Thank you for all your help. It was because of the qoutes had been dropped when i copied the information .
