Installing PHP-Nuke on a ServerFollow

#1 Mar 29 2007 at 7:38 PM Rating: Decent
Ok, I've spent endless hours staring at Php-Nuke's How to guide and have just about had it up to here. *raises hand above head* So I don't really know much PHP, hence the reason for using a premade portal and not designing my own.

So I loaded everything up onto the server, dumped the MySQL database and edited the config.php file to have dbserver dbuser etc and all of that good stuff.

Question: Is dbserver the location of your MySQL database URL or the IP? I have tried it as both neither seems to work.

Quote:
o populate the database, you have to run the nuke.sql file "through" mysql. Change to the sql directory and do from the command line:

mysql -h dbhost -u dbuname -p dbname < nuke.sql

where dbhost, dbuname and dbname are the database host, database username and database name, exactly as entered in config.php. Just as you import nuke.sql, you can import any other MySQL dump file


I assume that may have something to do with my problem, and I can't figure out what the hell it means, I tried entering that into the query box with phpmy admin but that didn't work so I'm totally stumped.

Can anyone explain as if to a two year old how to install php nuke or point me to a non-sucktacular guide.

My error is: There seems to be a problem with the MySQL server, sorry for the inconvenience.

We should be back shortly.
