Installation Help

[Anonymous]

I went through the installation process, and did everything, but for some reason pixelpost still will not work. I'm not sure what is wrong wit h my MySQL databases.

http://www.jackalnet.com/pixelpost/admin/

Where do I go from here?

Thank you

if your mysql database is on the same server as your webhost.. just use "localhost" as the servername

[spyder]

eg..

$pixelpost_db_host = "localhost"; // database host, often "localhost"
$pixelpost_db_user = "mysqlusername"; // database user
$pixelpost_db_pass = "mysqlpassword"; // database user password
$pixelpost_db_pixelpost = "pixelpost"; // database

what means "Will not work" ?

Some error messages, "coming soon"-message, image-directory and thumbnail-directory writeable?

You must be more precise that we can help you, "does not work" is no real information to find mistakes

if the entries concerning the database in pixelpost.php were not rigt, the installation would not have worked, so there must be another fault...

tell us exactly what does not work, please

Yes, sorry for not being that accurate. I tried to provide a link to the error so that I would have to explain into detail what it said. The error message that I keep getting when I install pixelpost and change the settings is: http://www.jackalnet.com/pixelpost/admin/ . That is the error that I get and I am not sure where I should continue or what to do to get pixelpost to operate appropriately.

Thank you for helping me out

Take care

I get a 404, file not found...which means the directory was never uploaded correctly (pending you didnt remove it since your post).

I removed it to try again, but after about the 5th time, I think I just stopped.

Just fixed the link

Thank you

Well, I am a full beginner in php world... A friend helped me who told me what top do and went offline.

What we have now: have php4 and mysql. there is a user: pixelpost-zeusz with no pass, so the admin/pixelpost looks like:

$pixelpost_db_host = "localhost"; // database host, often "localhost"
$pixelpost_db_user = "pixelpost-zeusz"; // database user
$pixelpost_db_pass = ""; // database user password
$pixelpost_db_pixelpost = "pixelpost-zeusz"; // database

$pixelpost_db_prefix = "pixelpost_"; // table prefix, leave as is unless you want to install multiple blogs on the same database

we did the magic "php4 admin/install.php" thingie and off I went to log in to /admin/index.php

I typed in pixelpost-zeusz, I left the pass field blank. I hit Create Tables button, and what I got as an output was:
Error: create command denied to user 'pixelpost-zeusz'@'localhost' for table 'pixelpost_config'

What shall I do now?

Did you really create a new database with the name "pixelpost-zeusz"?
Did you install this user "pixelpost-zeusz" in the mysql-database yourself?

"Normally" the hoster tells you the name of the database and login-ID and Password of the user and you must enter these values into pixelpost.php

check the info which you got from your hoster for the database and compare it with the entries in pixelpost.php, please
