NeXDesigns 0 Report post Posted September 16, 2004 is that for the php code to connect? if so you got too much for it. for connecting you only need$dbhost = "localhost"; (if on Xisto use localhost)$dbuname = "username";$dbpass = "****";$dbname = "dbname";(correct me if im wrong)hope this helps if i understand right.

serverph 0 Report post Posted September 16, 2004 it might be helpful if you include your site so we can check the errors first hand anyway, try double-checking on your user permission settings at cpanel. if you created a db with the correct user permission settings, you will be presented with the correct connection strings to follow in your configuration (most specifically, for the $dbuname & $dbname you must use). i'm using uni.cc so my mysql connection string automatically prefixes my uni.cc subdomain (serverph) to the $dbuname & $dbname. (i don't know if it works the same way for those with Xisto subdomains.) a sample connection string (generated from my own cpanel): $dbh=mysql_connect ("localhost", "serverph_dbuser", "<PASSWORD HERE>") or die ('I cannot connect to the database because: ' . mysql_error()); mysql_select_db ("serverph_db"); sample config (which i used for my site) following the sampleconnection string generated in my cpanel: $dbhostname = "localhost"; //hostname dbserver $database = "serverph_db"; //database name $mysqluser = "serverph_dbuser"; //mysql username $mysqlpassword = "********"; //mysql password if i were to set my config following your coding variables, it wouldappear as: ------ $dbhost = "localhost"; $dbuname = "serverph_nuke"; $dbpass = "********"; $dbname = "serverph_nuke1"; ------ (note: the serverph_ is prefixed in the values for the $dbuname and $dbname variables, because serverph is my uni.cc subdomain. if your subdomain is toohot for example, toohot_ will be prefixed. just change your configuration accordingly.) most mysql problems arise with incorrect user permission settings, so you might want to check that first. be sure you have a nuke user with permission to use your nuke1 db in your cpanel. after that, reconfigure the values in your variables to reflect the correct $dbuname and $dbname. and if you're still having problems after that, you might want to play around first in setting up your mysql db with a simpler php script. after you successfully set it up on a simpler script, you can then go into setting up phpnuke more confidently.
