ok, i uploaded my working phpnuke portal onto my main site, wihtout that fantastico thing, i uploaded every direcotry and everything needed for it to work, problem is , it doesn't .

i created a mysql DB nuke, and of course it was changed to otaku-v_nuke (otaku-v is my account name , don't think any of you will hack it without the password which i would prefer to keep to myself)

alright, then i added a user Angel_Sanctuary and the password ******, following that my username now shows up as otaku-v_AngelSan which i dunno what happened there , anyway ,i still get an error that it can't connect to the DB .here's what my nuke config file looks like .

$dbhost = "localhost";
$dbuname = "otaku-v_AngelSan";
$dbpass = "******";
$dbname = "otaku-v_nuke";
$prefix = "nuke";
$user_prefix = "nuke";
$dbtype = "MySQL";
$sitekey = "SdFk*fa28367-dm56w69.3a2fDS+e9";



now, WHAT the bloody hell am i doing wrong?

well I dont use nuke and never have but if its anything like phpbb then you cant just pop files and database over and hope it will work

the config file looks fine but just to make sure.

the username and database name should have the otaku-v_ prefix which you have BUT the password does not password will be for instance testing not otaku-v_testing

also you said you created the user Angel_Sanctuary for the database but it came out as otaku-v_AngelSan this may be a size restriction or the fact it has and _ in it???

I owuld suggest making a new user for the datbase called tester (it would come out otaku-v_tester) and update your config with it and see if it works???

let us know how you get on.

regards

actually you CAN just drop files, i tested this feature on my own comp , i have a server prog , mysql and phpmyadmin all working in conjunction with this script and all seems fine, but i've found the rrot of my prob, the domain name i'm using is brand new, therefore not active yet , and THAT is the root of all my problems

okay, i was wrong , PORBLEM NOT FIXED, and look at this ...

i sent an email about this query , and i have no idea how in hell this makes sense


Hi,

Do not worry. We can correct this issue.

In cpanel when we create a database the database name will be like this
< cpanel user name >_ database name.

Please try reseting your database password. if you still face difficulty. Please provide me with the complete details of the problem like problem domain, ip addres etc and link to files etc

I shall check it from my end

-------------------------------------

okay, what does ANYTHING from that have to do with me not being able to connect to the DB?
