My First PHP Site

MickeyMouseX · **My First PHP Site -** 03-16-2006, 10:23 AM

Ok. I really need some help. I can't get my site to come up at all, not even the admin.php. I have looked around and checked out the relevant posts but still can't get anything. I messed around with config.php and set all of that up right, and I just get a blank page that says it loaded but with errors. Please help! I want to get this site up soon. Thank you guys,

PHP Noobie,

Mickey

Is this a fresh install of phpnuke or is it an upgrade?

It's a fresh install. I've never done it before, but I have experience in HTML and CSS. The PHP sites look really good, so I wanted to learn it. I just got an account from 1and1.com and am sure that it's able to use PHP and comes with 25 MySql databases. I know that the addy points to a folder within the actual FTP with some weird name. That's where I am supposed to put all the files. I had them all in there, and when I pointed my browser to my site, www.screaminmachines.com , I got a screen with the PHP Nuke logo on it that said something was wrong with the MySQL database. I saw that same problem on another post and I did what was suggested in the config.php. Now when I point to the addy, I get a blank screen and down on the status bar, it says, "Page loaded but with errors"

Thanks for the help.

Is it possible that it's a theme error then?

MickeyMouseX · 03-17-2006, 07:10 AM

Not sure. How would I figure that out? Any new theme I download, where do i put the files? And I'm really sorry to ask, lol, but I've looked around and haven't been able to find out the difference between a module and a block. Hopefully you can help me through my first site and I won't have to ask again. Oh yeah, do you really put "localhost" in the config.php file, or do you put the host site?

have you ask your hosting support for help?
i think this has nothing to do with config.php.
try putting a simple html page on the first page then add link to ur php nuke.

I went through config.php and looked and everything looked correct. But I'm not sure about the "localhost" part. Should'nt it be the database host from 1and1.com?

Typically, this is how your config. should look, or at least it's how all of mine look

Code:

$dbhost = "localhost";
$dbuname = "yourdatabaseusername";
$dbpass = "yourdatabasepassword";
$dbname = "nameofdatabase";
$prefix = "nuke";
$user_prefix = "nuke";
$dbtype = "MySQL";

I think it has something to do with the "localhost" part. 1and1 said that I shouldn't put "localhost" there. LOL, so I asked them what I SHOULD put...they told me it depends...
