Anonymous	Posted: 5 Sep 2005 20:06:41 Hi All, I have just started a new site to test version 1.0 as I have been using 0.6. This instructions for setting this up seem to leave a few things off? As I get to the section on running the configs.php script my site gives me the follwoing error. Error: You must set your correct database access info in `inc/header.inc.php`. This file has been set up as best I can understand the document. i.e. as below. <?php // MySql database configuration $db = array('host'=>'localhost' // MySql database host ,'user'=>'xxxusernamehere' // MySql database user name ,'pass'=>'xxxpasswordhere' // MySql database user password ,'name'=>'xxxdatabasenamehere' // MySql database name ); // PLEASE NOTE: I have taken out al lot of the blank spaces when I pasted that into this message only to save on space. I have not altered the spacing in the actual file. The issue I have with this is 2 things. 1. Normally I would use the format of hostaccountname_databasename as the syntax for the fields above, but this doesn't help either. 2. Just after this part of hte script is has Do not change anything further!!!$db['prefix'] = 'dotsilver_'; Why would it be trying to use dotsiler_ as the db prefix - unless this is redirecting to the dotsiler network, my thinking is of course it can't find the database because it's not dotsilver_databasename it's myhostaccountname_databasename. I hope someone can help because I'm just about to give up on this script. Also, what about like with version 0.6 when/where do I set site ID, home path, url path etc. I still see a lot of discussion about setting these, but there is no mention of setting them in the version 1.0 doc. Thanks
Anonymous	Posted: 5 Sep 2005 20:19:19 Sorry, also another issue. Why is version 1.0 now requiring a database? I assume this was to improve the reliability of the system and scripts but are my members details now going to be hosted on my site? and if so, what about my version 0.6 members that are already set up. This has also caused concern that my 20Mb account may need to be upgraded as the database, files, and pages may eventually amount to more than 20Mb. Again, no documentation in the required specs about site size, only mentions you need apache, php, mysql etc.
.silver Admin	Posted: 7 Sep 2005 01:26:38 Hi, you should specify the correct information in inc/header.inc.php. When you run the script it tries to connect to the database using the requisits you have specified in inc/header.inc.php, and if the requisits are incorrect, the script stops executing and displays the error message. As regards to hosting space: all profiles are stored in our database, so your 20Mb of space is more than it needs. Thanks..

'password'...'database'....
kissie	Posted: 8 Sep 2005 10:12:24 I had the same problem until I got the names right. Here is mine exactly except for my password. $db = array( 'host' => 'localhost' // MySql database host , 'user' => 'ea1dbeb_kissie' // MySql database user name , 'pass' => 'XXXXXX' // MySql database user password , 'name' => 'ea1dbeb_kissie' // MySql database name );
