Hi Guys

I have been looking for a recipet site for some time and found edpudol post http://www.webmaster-talk.com/website-content-for-sale/103974-100-000-lyrics-5000-recipe-database.html

Ok so I have downloaded the database and also the script to run the database. Can someone kindly let me know how to instal all this tuff please.

I obviously upload all the site files to the server and also import the database but im unsure how to connect the two?

Thanks

James

I would have thought that the best place to start would be with the vendor.

Alternatively there is probably a configuration file where you put in the database and user details.

Cheers.

I think it is a problem with what Im putting in.

<?php
$dbname="";// *****
$dbuser=""; // *****
$dbpass=""; // &&&&&&
$dbpath = "localhost";// enter your db path by default localhost
$db = @ mysql_connect("$dbpath","$dbuser","$dbpass");
@ mysql_select_db("$dbname",$db);
$domain = "i put site name in here.info"; //Enter your domain here for SEO purpose only
$siteurl ="http://www.i put site name in here.info"; // please specify your site url
$pubId=""; // your google Pub ID
$url="http://www.i put site name in here.info"; // no / at the end of url

?>

OK this bit is what I have used to set up the database at the server end.

$dbname="";// *****
$dbuser=""; // *****
$dbpass=""; // &&&&&&

Im stuck at what to change here, if anything?

$dbpath = "localhost";// enter your db path by default localhost
$db = @ mysql_connect("$dbpath","$dbuser","$dbpass");
@ mysql_select_db("$dbname",$db);

If any one can help that would be nice.

Thanks

James

You only need to provide your database name, database password , and database user name

e.g.

$dbname="mydbname_database";
$dbuser="edpudol";
$dbpass="edpudol.com";

that's all and all set

Hi there

Im on Go Daddy and looking through some old posts on the net. They do not host the database at local host. I asked the support there if they can see whats wrong with the site and they seem to think its working. I need to send them another support ticket I think.

Thanks

James

James, your database path will be something like mysql222.secureserver.net, it's not localhost.

Go to godaddy and go to your sql databases are go to the database in question and check the details. It will list your username, pass and your database path.

James, Did you create a database in your hosting control panel?

If you did it told you the host name at that time. If you did the info can still be retrieved from the control panel.

If you did not that is the problem.

I think Im just going to move it to another account.

One person at Go Daddy said there is nothing wrong with the site. Idiot! The second person told me how to look up the host name like you helpful guys have on here.

Still not working. I will continue to have a play tonight. If it dont work I will just host it at another place.

I hate trying to do new things. They never work for me and Im sure its something stupid Im doing wrong.

This is the problem Im getting

Warning: mysql_query(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in /home/content/y/o/u/**********/html/randomrecipes.php on line 7
Access denied for user '*******'@'p3slh087.shr.phx3.secureserver.net' (using password: NO)

I took out my account name for security.

Thanks

James

Ok I know whats wrong. I'm going to bed right now and really tired but in the morning I can help you.

it starts with /home ... right?

I'll look it up in the morning k.
