Installation Problem!

comptherapy / 1 decade ago (15 October 2004 08:40)

I am having a problem installing phpNewsManager. I enter all the correct settings for my database and CHMOD 666 the db.inc.php file. When I click SUBMIT QUERY, nothing happens. It returns to the insallation page and removes all my values. I know my database settings are correct because I just installed a different script that installed perfectly. Any ideas? }:?

I found a response in an earlier post. It says I need to create the newman MySQL database. Don´t we have the option of naming the database anything else? My hosting company gives me a database with a set name, so I can not change it...

/quote/ create the newman MySQL database /quote//

Yes, but where the name is: newman (installation screen)
you have to fill in your own db_name

Hello,

I have the same problem and I filled the correct db_name but it still refreshes and nothing happens.

Earlier I installed newman without any problem on another server.

Can someone take a look at the install page Click :[LINK]

localhost: replace it by the name you have got of your host
Username: the correct name you have got of your host
Password: the correct password you have got of your host
Database Name:: the correct Database Name you have got of your host

And:
1.) phpNewsManager should be installed before you can install phpWebMagazine !!!
2.) EDIT THIS:
in newman_lib.php line 6
$admin_email = "[email protected]" rel=nofollow target=_blank>[LINK]";
require ("../newman/db.inc.php");

where db.inc.php should be path to existing phpNewsManager installation.

3.) You can edit header.php, index.php, footer.php and customize layout as you wish

Cool:

Hi Peter thanks for replying.

I did all these:

localhost replace it by the name you have got of your host
Username: the correct name you have got of your host
Password: the correct password you have got of your host
Database Name:: the correct Database Name you have got of your host

And it still didn´t help.

you can try to add anything and click submit and see if the problem is from me, the link is [LINK]

Thanks

What is wrong.......?
Good question.

The script? The host? The input name?

To find out:
get a free account at Lycos with php support.
Now upload the script.
If it does not install there is something with the script.
Attention:
lycos does not need a password to fill in, at least the: " lycos.nl" not.

The script i have uploaded to lycos a few times (different accounts):
install runs fine everytime.

You have problem with REGISTER_GLOBALS.
This variable need to be set to ON. If don´t install.php script won´t work.

Regards.

Try putting .htaccess file in your root directory with this line in it:
php_flag register_globals on
