Hi thanks marty for the link it work when my site is up i will link you guys up...
However after that i upgrade the patch 3.2 www.mysite/phpnuke/upgrade.php i get his
(There seems to be a problem with the MySQL server, sorry for the inconvenience.We should be back shortly.) Did the upgrade.php went for a coffee break?lol anyone can solve this?


1)when i unzip there is a file upgradedl.sql where should i put into?

Sorry you lost me :? talking about an upgrade, you upgraded what to what to what any why ?

The message your getting simply means the Site (nuke) cant connected to your MySQL database, did you change or add and new information to that upgrade ?

Check your config.php file that all entries are as they where

marty nope did not change i just replace i delete the config.php from the root and patch the config.php from the patch my is 7.6

old new ok, but did you check that the entries are the same ?


$dbhost = "localhost";
$dbuname = "xxxxx";
$dbpass = "xxxxx";
$dbname = "xxxxx";
$prefix = "nuke";


Did you FTP your own files or where did you get Nuke ?

Marty my come from the cpancel
marty $dbhost = "localhost", where can i find this file?

marty i find this is it correct code?

what are the code that need to be change?

$dbhost = "localhost";
$dbuname = "root";
$dbpass = "";
$dbname = "nuke";
$prefix = "nuke";
$user_prefix = "nuke";
$dbtype = "MySQL";
$sitekey = "xxxx*xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx";
$gfx_chk = 0;
$subscription_url = "";
$admin_file = "XXXX";
$tipath = "images/topics/";
$display_errors = false;

When you used cpanel to load your site, it automatically created a database a username a password to match, what you need to do now is goto your cpanel and select MySQL on that page you need to create a new database user with a password. Then you need to give that user access to the nuke database.

The reason is you deleted the orginal config.php file ?

So when you do the above you need to open the config.php and put whatever username and password you setup, you with me ?

marty i get it
first the cpanecl Mysql DB on this phpnuke the name and pass word is there so shall i copy back the name?

Also i have another phpbb install in the Mysql with the same user name i try both se how thanks O_O cracking my brain cell ZZzz lol

Well yes if you know the username and password put that in.

$dbhost = "localhost";
$dbuname = "database username";
$dbpass = "database password";
$dbname = "database name";
$prefix = "nuke";

thanks for ur speedy "medic kit"
