Not sure what is going on..

for subdreamer lite.

When i read the instructions and i tried looking for config.php.new to rename to config.php but it was already named config.php. so i proceeded and got everything installed.

when i tried going to my site i got the 'page cannot be found' error. the install script came up fine, and i can see the admin index just fine but when i try to log in i get the 'page could not be displayed again'.

i opened up config.php to see the contents and it was blank.

any help is appreciated. thanks

ok i reinstalled it and now the config.php has its contetnts but it is still not pulling up any pages.

So you are still seeing a 'page can not be displayed', most likely a problem with the config.php, make sure it looks like this:


<?php

$dbtype = 'mysql';

$servername = 'localhost';
$dbname = ''; // database name goes here
$dbusername = ''; // database username
$dbpassword = ''; // database password

define('SD_INSTALLED', true);
?>

for server name does it have to say "localhost" or should it say my mysql server name?

[Ziad]

It should say your mysql server name.

[armani1072]

It should say your mysql server name.
tried that still nothing.

[Ziad]

Do you currently have a forum installed?

[armani1072]

nothing is installed but subdreamer right now.

[Ziad]

Can you post the link to your site?

[armani1072]

subdreamer is in the 'home' directory

let me know if you want me to turn off the indexing

[Ziad]

Is there any way you can tell if the database was created?

[armani1072]

i appreciate your help on this by the way :)

[armani1072]

i am checking now

[armani1072]

the db is there but there is nothing in it.

question: upon installation does it automatically create a DB, from the info i enter. or do i have to enter the info that i used to manually create the db?

[Ziad]

That depends on your server, some will allow the creation of tables through php code, others not. So it looks like your database was installed, but there aren't any tables.

Try creating a Subdreamer database and then install and enter the database information in the install page.

[armani1072]

my server does allow the creation of tables through php. the only thing i have ever had to do manually is run queries.

well, when i read the instructions it said to create a DB so i did through my host cp, then i entered the same info on the installation of subdreamer.

[Ziad]

You will need to install Subdreamer, make sure the information for config.php is correct. Almost positive last time you went through the install but there was no config.php information so the tables were not created.

ok i will try it again.
