Installing
« on: August 11, 2002, 11:38:48 PM »
I am new to php, and just installed before I uploaded the Php image gallery files.

I am having trouble installing it though.

It asks me for the hostname, and I put the url for my domain, is that right?

I am not sure, because I keep on getting these messages.

Warning: Can't connect to MySQL server on 'jackskeleton.com' (61) in /usr/local/etc/httpd/htdocs/gallery/4images/includes/db_mysql.php on line 36

Warning: MySQL Connection Failed: Can't connect to MySQL server on 'jackskeleton.com' (61) in /usr/local/etc/httpd/htdocs/gallery/4images/includes/db_mysql.php on line 36

DB Error: Could not connect to the database server (jackskeleton.com, Melchia18).

I am really unsure what I am supposed to do. Sorry about this, I easily get confused by the simpliest things.  :?

Hi,

The hostname it asks for is that of your MySQL database.  You'll need to speak to folks who host your site, and ask them if you have a database on your account.

Thanks,
Alan.
