I can never set up mysql server info correctly...
And now, I really want to install this script that uses mysql. Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong?
the script I'm trying to install is called DownloadPro.
from readme
$dbhost = "localhost"; - The hostname of your database, usually is just localhost.
$dbuser = "you"; - The username for your database.
$dbpass = "anything"; - The password to access your database.
$increment = "50"; - Defines how many items are shown on each statistics page.
$scriptuser = "admin"; - The username allowed to access the admin CP.
$scriptpass = "pass"; - The password required to access the admin CP.
$db="yourdb" - yourdb must be replaced with your database name.
so I changed dbuser to prefix_username, dbpass to xxxx, and db to prefix_name
then I went to MySQL® Databases on my control panel, added the database "name" and created an account with "username" and password xxxx.
Then I uploaded the folder just like the readme told me to
but when I load the install.php and click on the "install" button, nothing happens.
I also tried to install another mysql/php script, and the first time, I must have entered the info wrong so it gave me a bunch of errors. Then, I revised some info and this time, it just gave me a short "no." I wish it was a person so I can ask "why not?!"
Any help is appreciated!
