Problem: Can't Install 4images What Am I Doing Wrong?
« on: May 13, 2007, 07:44:20 PM »
Hi, I just started with 4images, version 1.7.4, so this is all very new to me. I need better instructions. I uploaded the 4images files to my server and then pointed my browser to the site location and clicked on install. But I don't understand what I am supposed to write in the server host section and I am getting these error messages: Warning: mysql_connect(): Unknown MySQL Server Host 'http' (11001) in

d:\home\Default\thetygersden.com\htdocs\4images\includes\db_mysql.php on line 39

An unexpected error occured. Please try again later.

Warning: mysql_connect(): Can't connect to MySQL server on 'thetygersden.com' (10061) in

d:\home\Default\thetygersden.com\htdocs\4images\includes\db_mysql.php on line 39

An unexpected error occured. Please try again later.

I don't understand what to put in the server host line of the installer. And I don't know what is wrong with this either. Am I missing something I need to run this or what should I do to fix this so it will install on my server please? Thank you. Sincerely, TygerStar

The host name should be either local host or if your host provides you with a host name thats what you put there. You get that information when you setup your database.

You actually need to setup a database.

You supply the username, database name, password and host name, etc.

Thank you. How do you set up a database? That's something I have never done. Is it something I need to do in my domain control panel? Thanks  again. TygerStar

Should be within your hosting control panel. Each host is different, but either hosting or domain. Just look for MYSQL link or something that states databases.
