phpNuke TOTAL NEWBIE

http://www.jbedigital.com/nuke/html/index.php

I have no idea what to do now. I created my database using phpmyadmin and called it nuke.

Here's what my config looks like:

$dbhost = "localhost";

$dbuname = "*******";

$dbpass = "***********";

$dbname = "nuke";

$prefix = "jbedigital_com";

$user_prefix = "nuke";

$dbtype = "MySQL";

I have no idea if that's right.

Here's some info on my database:

Field = nuke.sql

Type = tinyint(4)

Attributes = UNSIGNED

Null = no

Default = 0

Could somebody please point me in the right direction? My only experience with this sort of thing was with my phpBB and I had a feeling I was "lucky".

Any help would be greatly apperciated!

Thank you.

After you create a database using phpMyAdmin load the sql file which came with nuke and run it. This will create all the tables. Then your done.

What do you mean by "run it"? Is everything else ok? Like the $prefix = "jbedigital_com"; part?

Thanks guys, if I can't get this working I'll give postNuke a try.

In phpmyadmin there is an option to dump a file to the database (not sure where it is - think it's on the front page) and from this you choose the .sql file that comes with phpnuke. It then adds all the tables to the database.

Still not working for me. Anyother ideas? Could it be my config.php file?

As I said give postnuke a try because all you have to do is upload all the postnuke file to your webspace and then run install.php and you will get a nice user interface to fill in your mysql info and it will also make the necessary mysql tables for you.

Postnuke is super friendly and it has a great following.

Well, I decided to go with postnuke and everything was going great until I got this:

Warning: Access denied for user: '********@******.com' (Using password: YES) in /home/sites/site244/web/Vnuke/html/install/newinstall.php on line 36

Unable to make database

Any help?

This happened to me before when making Postnuke sites I think you will find your password you put in is wrong, If your sure all the information you entered is correct, then trying installing phpmyadmin and creating a table called Rogue, then run install.php again, you must also have your database name correct in the info you entered this can also give an error.

Hope this info helps. :)

How many "fields" do I need to enter when creating this table?

[CaKeY]

Hmph...

Field= ?

Type= ?

Length/Values*=?

Attributes=?

Null=?

Default=?

Extra=?

Primary Index Unique Fulltext ???

Maybe I should take some classes or something. :(

[Large]

You have to create no fields at all, just create a table called Rogue and then run install.php, Postnuke will create the fields for you.

Well, I finally got it up and running. Too bad I can't post images in my news section, which was my main reason for getting it.

I searched the postNuke website for a defineative solution but found none.

Any ideas ?

Ever try putting the img tag as part of your news post ... may not work though :(

[Large]

You got it right Hypercube, in Postnuke news you can use html, just use the img tag to insert a pic, you can also adjust what html tags can be used in the admin settings. :)

hmm I have been slowly designing a script of this sort of my own in perl. maybe once I'm done I'll share with you.

Thanks guys. After doing some SERIOUS searching on the postNuke site I finally found the answer to my problem. LOOK HERE .

I hope this is fixed for the next version. :ermm:
