Config.php file probs

MySQL Database Connectivity Test Results
config.php file found!
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).

Any suggestions on what I should do?

Double check your connect info in config.php

An easy way to do this is open phpmyadmin......follow the login process and as you enter info into phpmyadmin there should be an entry in the config file. Follow this until you are at the database you wish to use. Just about each step as you go there will be an entry for the config file.

You have not entered the correct connection settings in your nuke config.php file.

I checked and redid the database and have tried every possible way in the config file and tried it and it still says the same dang thing....so what do I do?

Well how is your phpMyAdmin connecting to your database?

Guardian2003,
You beat me to it.

David, It's there. It can just be fickle at times. A space here....A capitol there....You just have to look real close. If you can log into that database with PhPMyAdmin or Cpanel.....then the config will work. Send your info to Guardian and he will fix you up.

I can better that!! I get this "issue" when trying to open the installSQL.php file.

Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login!

after flicking through a few forums and you admins moaning about hosts using old "My SQL", I updated "My SQL server" to ver 5, and PHP to ver 5.

Still got same issue. I checked passwords and stuff. I can use MySqlAdmin to connect to the database... I even "copy and pasted" the details from the config.php file, just to make sertain i got the spelling right... Still no joy.

If it helps, Im running :-

IIS
MySQL 5.0.18-win32
PHP 5.0.5

help?

PS im not installing bloomin apache server, I have too many clients on IIS to f@rt @rse about changing things.

Well.....Maybe you did not read enough.....Most folks don't support PhP 5.0 yet and it does cause some "Issues". I think 4.lastest would have been a better bet.

The link did not work. Post it up....we'll check it out...

Yep... I've heard PHP5 and mySQL5 is not too nuke friendly... not sure you can run it "out of the box" on this platform.

Try PHP4.4.1, mySQL 4.x (not sure of the latest 4.x build).

Lord_Lethris, Reftp your *.php files using binary transfer.

Posted: Wed Jan 25, 2006 8:38 pm

Strange, link should work.
Old version of PHP was 4.4.1 and I was running sql 4
also. web server is sitting right next to me, so FTPing itsnt an issue as the server is on the same network.

Ok. I'm trying to install on Linux. Suse 9.3 to be exact. I have the server and evetying thing all right here

when i try to install I get the first message np just like I should so when I go to the next step where it says www.yourdomain.com/INSTALLATION/installSQL.php I get this error

Object not found!
The requested URL was not found on this server. If you entered the URL manually please check your spelling and try again.
If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster.
Error 404
or I get

An error occurred while loading http://localhost/INSTALLATION/installSQL.php:
Connection to host localhost is broken.

Its 4am andI'm giving up for now. any help would rock I would think if i can get to the first part the second step should work just fine.. Not sure if it a sql issue or what

Posted: Wed Feb 01, 2006 4:37 am

It is a path issue from what I see here......

www.yourdomain.com/INSTALLATION/installSQL.php
(I take it you removed your real domain name, if not you need to fix the "your domain" part)

An error occurred while loading http://localhost/INSTALLATION/installSQL.php:

It is looking for "www.yourdomain.com" not "localhost"

Some of the other folks here I am sure know more about it than me but I would look at my paths and make sure they are all set right.

When I go to www.chasingpaper.net/INSTALLATION/installSQL.php I get

Object not found!
The requested URL was not found on this server. If you entered the URL manually please check your spelling and try again.
If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster.
Error 404
www.chasingpaper.net
Wed Feb 1 04:58:18 2006
Apache/2.0.53 (Linux/SUSE)

I know the thing is there I did all the chmod's and everything I can think of and nothing. I cant figure out why I would be able to get a page when just going to www.chasingpaper.net and not when trying to hit the installation file

edit: OK so i think I may have fiound the issue now I just gotta figure out how to fix it
here is a snippet from my httpd.conf

# forbid access to the entire filesystem by default
<Directory />
Options None
AllowOverride None
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
</Directory>

I think that nay be part of the issue
Just for grins I browsed over to www.chasingpaper.net/INSTALLATION/setup.php and that shows fine so im lost now

Go look at your Config file......config.php in root. Make sure that everything is right to connect to the database. It seems to me that you are not connecting to the database.

Posted: Wed Feb 01, 2006 6:32 am

txhellkat138, I just don't see how it can be anything other than installSQL.php file is not there or is somehow corrupt, especially since we can all get to setup.php just fine.

[edited by montego] you may want to check the extraction from the original distribution package... that could be another failure point for file corruption...

Posted: Wed Feb 01, 2006 7:05 am

Montego is most likey right.

If the paths are correct in config...then something is missing or corrupt.

It was really early in the morning when I started on this one....(5:00am'ish)

You don't want to comment that out. That's the default behavior. Later on you should have another set of directives that allow access to your specific document root.

I redownloaded and re unzipped (using my command prompt this time) and now I get this

Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /INSTALLATION/install.sql.php on this server.
Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Apache/2.0.53 (Linux/SUSE) Server at www.chasingpaper.net Port 80

Thats while going to www.chasingpaper.net/INSTALLATION/installSQL.php

I get the same error for localhost

Posted: Wed Feb 01, 2006 5:36 pm

That appears to be a permissions error on your server. Either the permissions and/or the owner:group is not set correctly.

Posted: Thu Feb 02, 2006 2:26 am

I would agree but the other files in that folder are accessible I can still get to the setup.php which is in INSTALLATION folder just not the installSQL.php I even put a test file in it called mysql.ph and it shows just fine so imma try a few more things I will let yall know how it comes out

Wait a minute... take a look at the provided file name. Why is it not showing installSQL.php?
