UseBB Community

Hi, im new to php and the installation side of it,
I followed the instructions on the Docs/Index and still nothing happened.

it may be my host but iv tried a few and they all do the same, so if anyone is using a FREE host for there UseBB forums, can you please let me know what you are using.

here is my problem.
i am using HyperPHP.com.
and when i try to acess install.php
i get redirected to: http://prophp.org/blog with a message saying:
YOU ARE VIEWING THE OLD WEBSITE
PLEASE WAIT WHILE YOU ARE REDIRECTED then it sends me too http://swiftphp.com/hostingblog/

Any thoughts?


i have to go through this to get to it.
htdocs/UseBB/install/install.php

iv tried moving folders to make it shorter and still no luck.

You should be accessing the install script with:

www.domain.com/install/install.php

unless you have usebb in a folder then it would be:

www.domain.com/usebb/install/install.php

You don't need to include the /htdocs folder in your path.

im still having same problem.
il show you.
Host = hyperphp.com
Domain = http://rj_lh_faa.hyperphp.com
I tried; http://rj_lh_faa.hyperphp.com/usebb/install/install.php
http://rj_lh_faa.hyperphp.com/install/install.php

Can i just give u a test user and pass, upload it and then show me how to do it?
i cant learn things by reading i learn by example.

I'm not too sure. I would suggest contacting your host. Maybe someone else has a better suggestion, but that is the only think I can think of.

il pm you.

Please check your email. And also, please check your directory structure first next time.

i did, i though i had it right, sorry and thanks for your help.

I get the problem...

In file sources/db_mysqli.php on line 88:

E_WARNING - mysqli_connect() [function.mysqli-connect]: (28000/1045): Access denied for user -filtered- (using password: NO)

after filling out the install form.

You didn't fill out the form correctly. Make sure you have your MySQL details correct.

Tried. Failed.
lol.
im useless.

Also, i looked in config, and couldn;t find the run_???
to delete so i can install it again.

Sorry for posting twice, i cant edit my post.

My config doesnt have the "installer_run" in it. yet i still get this message when trying to install.

"This installer has been run already. To enable it again, delete the installer_run config value from config.php."

Any help?
I have also tried replacing the config.php file with the original, and yet it still gives me this message.

Nvm.
i got it.
im guna tyr do it by myself lol

But first.
when it says Server host * Do i put in hyperphp.com?

im sorry for posting so many things, should realy be able to edit things.. i could of had it in 1-2 posts.

i get this problem



In file sources/db_mysqli.php on line 88:

E_NOTICE - Undefined index: http://rj_lh_faa.hyperphp.com


What do i put here..

@mysqli_connect($config['????????'],

Please stay out of the source files, you're editing PHP code which you shouldn't alter and don't even understand.

Everything is explained in the readme files and has been explained in this topic as well. If you don't have the right configuration values for your database, contact your host.

I should also mention that these free hosts usually disable lots of PHP stuff (not talking about the ones which use their own PHP fork) so there's no guarantee UseBB still works.

I thought you use...
/install/index.php
