Issue with Gallery2 Installation

Worker Joined: Nov 17, 2003 Posts: 131

Ok trying to install. I keep getting stuck on step 5, with this error:

Warning: mysql_connect(): Access denied for user: 'shoxxxxx_sxxxie@localhost' (Using password: YES) in /home/shoxxxxx/public_html/modules/gallery2/lib/adodb/drivers/adodb-mysql.inc.php on line 348
localhost: Access denied for user: 'shoxxxxx_sxxxxe@localhost' (Using password: YES)

Typically, the first step is to create your database.

Login to your control panel and click on the database manager.

1. Create your database.
2. Create your DB user and password next.
3. Finally add the user you just made to the empty database you just created.

Then when you run the instalation script, the fields should look as follows:

db host = localhost
db name = username_whatever
db user = username_whatever
db pass = whatever

Please note that the password is the only field that does not require the "username_" in front of it.

I seem to have a database in modules:
Edit Delete 47 gallery2 gallery2 1 0 1 0

Database and pass would be the same as for nuke and mysql right?........or wrong and I need to add myself again in that database?? oh don't see anywhere to do that.

I think I am entering the correct info into the fields?? Nuked Gallery says I have to get this installed before I run the integration....maybe I shouldn't have put it into nuke modules till after it's installed??

Well, that error is cleary a security error. One of the following would normally be the cause.

- Database name is incorrect. Make sure it is prefixed with USERNAME_ .
- Database username is incorrect. Make sure it is prefixed with USERNAME_ .
- Password is incorrect.
- Having a blonde moment ROTFL

(soory - couldn't resist)

If you can't resolve this, I'll take a look Wink

Well apparently I am having several of them Bang Head

Database type: Mysql (all versions)
DB Hostname: localhost
DB Username: shoblah_shblahe
DB Password: zzzzzz
DB Name: gallery2
Table Prefix: g2_
Column Prefix: g_

OK so I tried USERNAME_shoshone_shonie and now it kicked me back to authenticate again.....

Ok I don't get it..........it can't be that hard! I've tried every combination of user name pass that I can think of and none of them are working.

Are you sure that you attached the correct username to the correct database in MySQL/cPanel?

Is that a trick question? I only have one database? the nuke one? Shocked

Hi Jaded! Okies........I need to talk to you anyways Smile

What is your nuke database name?
I notice in your last post you are trying to use
DB Name: gallery2
If you only have one database then this would not be correct - use the same info from your nuke/config.php file except for the prefix which would seem ok how you have it.

OOOOh! OK going to try that! Thanks Guardian Smile

Bleg.......ok I changed that, didn't work. Changed the prefix to nuke_,then nuke_module_ then to nuke_module_gallery2...........none worked.

But if it's not connecting to the data base, isn't that moot? It can't get there to read it?

Yes you are correct but I was working on the principle that it might have been the DB name (being incorrect) causing the none connection.
If you are using the same user/pass dbname combination as your nuke site then it must be something else - as your nuke site is clearly working fine Wink

I am not familiar with this module and have not used it. I am just about the hit the hay and have a funeral tomorrow but if you are still stuck then, I would be happy to take a look at it if no one else has by then.

Awww Guardian, thank you for your help. Take care. Too many things on you right now.

Thanks again and I'll let you know.

I just looked at your ftp and you haven't created a config.php file for gallery yet. Don't you think you should?

Posted: Mon Oct 17, 2005 5:30 pm

oh phooey! I had done and then overwrote it and forgot. Blonde?

HAHAHAHAHAHA

Well I did that now and still no go. :/

You were changing the config.php-template. You needed to copy gallery2/install/config.php-template to gallery2/config.php, which I have done for you. Now, try it again. Gallery usually makes this for you during installation. I'm thinking you might have missed a step, but try it.

ahhh hmm I wonder how that happened. Jaded is looking at it but has an issue that she needs answers from you for. I posted it at the server forum.

Thanks for your help........and the new smilie Blonde Moment

hehehehehe

Yes, it is almost done. Hopefully after the great and powerful Raven Dance-Y

checks on the issue I emailed you we can have this up and going for you. That would be nice Razz

While trying to install Gallery2.0.2 I encoutered this error:

Quote:

Warning: The exec() function is disabled in your php by the disabled_functions parameter in php.ini. You won't be able to use modules that require external binaries (e.g. ImageMagick, NetPBM or Ffmpeg). This can only be set server-wide, so you will need to change it in the global php.ini.

All other items report "Success"

Two questions:
1. Can I change this with a custom php.ini file?

2. If so what do I put in the php.ini file?

#1 - No

#2 - Your host can override this on a per account basis.
