install.php dont work on my server why?

[Scott]

I dont know.

[SupremeBein]

I tried running it from my browser, I tried running it from MySQL-Front, I tried running it from WS FTP Pro, and it just dont make the tables in my database like it supposed to. My host is a NT server with php and mysql and i can get phpbb forums to run on it.

Please help or suggest a new host where it will work cause all i want is a Simple Squad Site.

[SupremeBein]

Ok I went and bought some new linux/apache webhosting with php4 and mysql 3.23.56 and the install.php still does not work at all. Tried running it from phpmyadmin and still nothing. I have tried this on 3 differant webhosting packages and still nothing, but I was abile to install phpbb forums on all 3 hosts. This is really got me down because php-nuke is far more complex then what i need. So i guess if no one can help me here it is back to html for my site.

P.S. when i try to install it it says there is a sql syntax error if that helps any, also if it helps any here is where the site is now www.cybersoldiers.us

SupremeBein are you sure all your settings are correct for mysql connection? Your using NT host right? hmm think there is something else that needs added to the code for it work under nt

[SupremeBein]

Ok all my info in the config.php is right, I had my host look at it and it is all right, but the install.php is not populating the db at all.

My host says that it may be that my dns server has not resolved all the way yet, even tho i can get to the site from the url, so i guess i will try for a couple of days to see if that is the problem (my host said the script looked right to him except for the installcon part at the beginning, but i dont know php so i dont know.)

[SupremeBein]

oh my new host is a redhat linux server running apache, php4, mysql 3.23.56, plesk control panel, and cisco routers.

pretty good deal I got 1000mb space, 8 gb bandwidth, unlimited subdomains, unlimited databases, unlimited email, and a free domain name all for a special limited price of $4.16 a month at http://www.digitalbroadcastedmultimedia.com/index.htm

I could set up a temp install file until your stuff resolves.

[SupremeBein]

Anything at this point that would get me up and running would be very much appricated.

[Scott]

Try doing this:

Open install.php in notepad and right after
<? at the very top insert this:
$cmd = $_GET['cmd'];
Save the file and upload it to the server then try to install the script.


Your last option is to download this attached file. And follow these directions.

Open the file in notepad and a little ways down you'll find this bit of code:

INSERT INTO simple_settings VALUES (1, 'ENTER_USERNAME', md5('ENTER_PASSWORD'), '', '', '', '5', '', '', '', 'Your request has been sent! We will respond shortly!', 'yes', 'no', 'no', 'yes', 'Default');

Edit where it sais ENTER_USERNAME and ENTER_PASSWORD. Here is an example:

INSERT INTO simple_settings VALUES (1, 'panther', md5('password'), '', '', '', '5', '', '', '', 'Your request has been sent! We will respond shortly!', 'yes', 'no', 'no', 'yes', 'Default');

Save the file.

Create a database in phpmyadmin. Go to the database and depending on what version of phpmyadmin you have you will see a text box, under that box you will be able to select a file. Select the file you edited and click go. If you don't see that text box right after clicking on the db name in phpmyadmin you will have to look at the top nav and click the link that sais SQL. Do the above from there.

Now make sure your value $tablepre = "simple"; is exactly like that in config.php and change the db name to the db you setup. Remove install.php from your server and you should be ready to go.

[SupremeBein]

Well both ways work at populating the db and the site does come up now. www.cybersoldiers.us

But I can't do anything with it because it wont let me into the admin panel to start adding pages.

Boy this is frustrating but we are getting closer.

Any other info anyone can provide would be greatly appricated.

[Scott]

Do this now:
In config.php add this:

$cmd = $_GET["cmd"];

right before this:

$inc = $_GET["view"];

Or tell your host to turn register globals on.

And replace index.php with the attached one. All should work now.

[SupremeBein]

Well that helped some, I changed the config.php and uploded the new index.php, I had my host trun register globals on (which they did not want to do but did on my site only, they said that command has not been used since php 4.0.2 and is not a good idea to us it still, thats what they say).

But there is still a error that displays when you click the admin button go to the and see it if it helps www.cybersoldiers.us

I just dont seem to be having any luck, but I shure do appricate all the Panther.

It worked on my server with register globals off

[Scott]

I didn't really know much about the register globals untill after i coded the script. I learned how it works now so i'll update the script to work with it turned off next time.

Keep in mind this was my very first script, there were no 'simpler' scripts before this so there are gonna be things like this untill i learn to fix them. I've gotten better so the next release will be alot better.

As for why your page still isn't working SupremeBein, there was an error again in my code. My bad and I'm sorry. I was in a hurry. Upload the new index.php attached.

[SupremeBein]

Yes Yes Yes Yes, it finally works wooooohooooo!!!!!

Thanks a million for all your help Panther.

By the way I think you are doing a great job on this script, keep up the good work and improvements and great support.

Again thanks a million Panther for the script and all your help getting it to work for me.
