Script or MySQL

[ShortChop]

I'm trying to figure out if it's the script or the DB.

Here's the error I'm getting when I run the install.

I might have made a bad decision on the shoutbox I wanted but hey that's how we learn...by making mistakes. Either way take a look and tell me what you think:

Warning: mysql_query(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in \phShoutBox\functions.php on line 87
Click here to install phShoutBox v1.5!

I can click on it and it looks like it installs but then it returns:

Warning: mysql_query(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in phShoutBox\functions.php on line 87

Warning: mysql_query(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in \phShoutBox\functions.php on line 87
Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061)

When I go to the admin screen it says:

Warning: mysql_query(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in \phShoutBox\functions.php on line 87

Warning: mysql_fetch_array(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in \phShoutBox\functions.php on line 79

Just a courtesy FYI:I posted this same question on the another site that hosts this script/mod/hacks just in case you are very busy.

Any suggestions would be great!

TIA

P.S.

function fetch($query="") {
$query=mysql_fetch_array($query);
return($query);
}

function query($query="",$sup="") {
If($sup) {
$query=mysql_query($query,$this->link);
} Else {
$query=mysql_query($query,$this->link);<---Line 87
}
return($query);
}

function rows($query="") {
$query=@mysql_num_rows($query);
return($query);
}
function free($query="") {

Its probably that your sql connection info is wrong...

Thanks mike I'll double check my settings.

Does the shoutbox require it's own DB or can it share w/ the PHPBB DB?

[Lakie]

it can share the database, as long as there is no clashing tables, which shouldnt be a problem as i think phpbb prefixes table names with phpbb_ anyway...

Got it resolved thanks~

That's the reason before starting any DB you should normalize it. Just my humble opinion
