ebbinger_413 0 Report post Posted February 23, 2006 i am trying to set up ipb on my server so that i can host my forum... i have ipb 4.13 (or w/e the newest one is) and i installed it along with mysql4 and php5 onto my server...i came across a lot of problems...such as the install/index.php not working correctly and username and password errors...but with google i was able to get help for most of that...now i am stuck.. the first error i had was that when i tried to open the index.php within the install folder to finally configure the ipb forum and all (as the install guide said) it came up with a bunch of code...so then i found out that i didnt have php installed correctly and added to my IIS and all that...so i fixed that...got all that workin and then came accross another error, saying that it errored with the file php_mysql.dll on line 127...googled it...found out that mysql 5 (which is what i was originally trying to use) doesnt work well with ipb...so i dl mysql 4 and installed...came accross another error...couldnt start the service...googled...found out that i hadnt completely removed mysql5 because i left the folder there still...so that **** everything up...so i deleted it...uninstalled..all that...fixed that error...went all the back to the index.php in the /install folder....and everything is working...brought up the page...went on to next page...filled out the form asking for my myswl user and pass (i have mysql set to anonymous) so i put anonymous in and all the other info...and at first i had a few error such as the username and pass (cause i didnt try anonymous at first) and not connecting to mysql...but i got everything...now i get this stupid error saying that my database is wrong...the guide for ipb said that i could put a name in there and if it wasnt created it would create it...well..i dont hava database thing...and i dont kn much about databases...so can i get some help here...what do i have to do to create a database can i just download a database online to do this...or do i need to create a whole database on the computer...or does ipb come with a default database and i just dont know about it...please, i would like some help...i really want to get this working (would make my friend very jealous and be really cool to see) thanks! -----Posts Merged-----szupie with some more help from google i was able to figure out how to use the mysql console to create a database so now i have fixed that problem...now i have a new error that i have encountered...now it comes up with this code...
