Help , Im Lost

[Jaymie1989]

Hey,

Trying to install vBulletin and i get this

Warning: fetch_config(e:\domains\d\dj-ultra.co.uk\user\htdocs\tesy1/includes/config.php) [function.fetch-config]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in e:\domains\d\dj-ultra.co.uk\user\htdocs\tesy1\includes\class_core.php on line 2343

Warning: fetch_config() [function.include]: Failed opening 'e:\domains\d\dj-ultra.co.uk\user\htdocs\tesy1/includes/config.php' for inclusion (include_path='.;c:\php4\pear') in e:\domains\d\dj-ultra.co.uk\user\htdocs\tesy1\includes\class_core.php on line 2343


Configuration: includes/config.php does not exist. Please fill out the data in config.php.new and rename it to config.php

Can someone tell me what it means please?

Thanks,

Jay

Someone please help.

Right now there is a file in the includes folder called "config.new" - you have to open it up, change the info they want inside (probably stuff like connecting to your database) and then RESAVE it as "config.php"

Hi,

I opened it and i got lost were to put it, if I send you the file and PM you my details could you do it for me and send it back?

[Redcore]

We can try.

My email is redcore@gmail.com

[Jaymie1989]

email sent.

[Redcore]

Updated, renamed, and sent back.

Create a database in MySQL named "forum", upload this to the "includes" folder - and you should be good to go.

Let me know how it goes.

[Jaymie1989]

Thanks,

Im getting database error now. I havnt put it in my forum folder yet its in a "test" directory

http://www.dj-ultra.co.uk/test

Dunno whats wrong with it.

[Redcore]

A) Did you create a new database named "forum" ?
B) Did you setup the forum through their installation pages? (read the FAQ to find them)
C) Is the MySQL server port 3306? (unlikely that it is something else, but worth checking if you fix the above and still can't get it going)


I'm not sure what you mean by the test stuff...or why you'd be testing forum software.

[Jaymie1989]

A) No its in the test folder like i said
B) I really have no idea about the setup
C) I will check now what the server post is.

[Jaymie1989]

There is no server port from what i can see

[Redcore]

You have to make a database...how do you expect it to work atm without a database? It's PHP/database driven...

[Jaymie1989]

database, what database.

Your gonna have to show me everything from scratch, carsley (Chris) done mine for me.

I have moved the folder directory to new-forum so the link is http://www.dj-ultra.co.uk/new-forum

Sorry for being such a pain

[Redcore]

Why not just make it in a "forum" folder instead - it's hard for people to remember something like "/new-forum"

I was telling you that you have to CREATE a database for the forum. That is how everything is stored (users, posts, permissions, etc)

Im moving the files now.

Sorry for being a pain

Sorry for being a pain

It's not a big deal - we all have to learn. I'm sure I was more of a pain when I was learning how to do things. :)

Anyways if it bothered me, I wouldn't be here! :P

[Jaymie1989]

Im still getting database error the new link is http://www.dj-ultra.co.uk/forum

[Jaymie1989]

Still doesnt work

[Redcore]

The forum has to be installed. There should be an installation file included...check the FAQ to find out where it is.

[Jaymie1989]

I have found it and it works now thanks.


Im so happy.
