Can't find directory

[BubbaDudley420]

I get the message:
Directory /yabbse does not exist yet, please create it first
It is there and I did cmod 777
I also tryed moving the install file to a different directory
Please Help

[alexrolko]

if the installer and the .ya file is in the yabbse dir

just put a . (period) for the path.

thanks but now i have a new problem
It gives me this at step 3:
Warning: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2) in install.php on line 204

Warning: MySQL Connection Failed: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2) in install.php on line 204
Cannot connect to database server with given data

[alexrolko]

are you using the correct information your host gave you on connecting to mySQL?

[BubbaDudley420]

Yeah but im not too sure what too put for:
MySQL Database name and MySQL Database prefix
i did run the phpinfo.php file if that info is can be used

[mediman]

no phpinfo() has nothing to do with that!

in $db_name = ""; put the name of your db, if you have no existing db create any db i.e. "yabbsedb"!
in  $db_prefix = ""; you put anything like "yabbse_" the prefix change your tables in db form messages to i.e. yabbse_messages, so you have the possibilty to use your db also for other scripts without any probs, or a second board on same db!

[BubbaDudley420]

Still gives me the same error
Coudl it be a wrong username and password

[mediman]

i don´t think so, maybe you have to use a url instead of localhost...

check your connection with a script.. so you know wheres the prob..

Code Select Expand

<?php$DBName = "";$DBUser = "";$DBPass = "";$DBHost = "";$prefix = "";$testconnect = @mysql_connect ( $DBHost, $DBUser, $DBPass )or die ( "1.<font color=red> Server not found (<font color=blue>$DBHost</font> Password/Username are not correkt, or there is no server!</font><br><br>" );print ( "1.<font color=green> Server succesfully connected!</font><br><br>" );$testdb = @mysql_select_db ( $DBName )or die ( "2.<font color=red> Database not found (is the DBName <font color=blue>$DBName</font> correct? (Was a DB with this name created?)</font><br><br>" );print ( "2.<font color=green> Database <font color=blue>$DBName</font> was found and connected succesfully!</font><br><br>" );$testtabl = @mysql_query ("select * from {$prefix}members")or die ( "3.<font color=red> Prefix <font color=blue>$prefix</font> is not correct or the tables was created with wrong/without prefix or was not created!</font><br><br>" );print ( "3.<font color=green> Prefix <font color=blue>$prefix</font> is correkt and tables was created!</font><br>" );mysql_close ( $testconnect );?>

[BubbaDudley420]

uhhh How?

[mediman]

put this code in your notepad and dont forget  to fill out

$DBName = "";
$DBUser = "";
$DBPass = "";
$DBHost = "";
$prefix = "";

then save it as test.php (textfile) and upload it to your server. then call the test.php and tell me the result!

[BubbaDudley420]

i inserted my user name and password etc and this is what i showed me
1. Server not found (localhost Password/Username are not correkt, or there is no server!

[mediman]

so now we now it´s not the prefix or dbname, at the moment you havew no access to the dbserver!

whats you isp? maybe you have to put an ip or an url instead of localhost, or you have to create a db first (in a panel or something like that..)

can you give me the url to your isp?

medi
