Not sure what's wrong...

Hi I am trying to install my CMS, second time doing this different web site.
I am using version 102 this time.

I am getting this error on my admin index.php page. Your help is most appreciated.
Thanks!

Hiya Jackie,

While you're waiting for proper support, can you check that the info you have in your 'Connections/localhost.php' file is all correct:

<?php
# FileName="Connection_php_mysql.htm"
# Type="MYSQL"
# HTTP="true"
$hostname_localhost = "localhost"; /* This is probably correct. */
$database_localhost = "databasename"; /* Edit this */
$username_localhost = "databaseusername"; /* Edit this */
$password_localhost = "databaseuserpassword"; /* Edit this */
$localhost = mysql_pconnect($hostname_localhost, $username_localhost, $password_localhost) or trigger_error(mysql_error(),E_USER_ERROR);
?>

If you are developing on your testing server, (home server), then you should just need to restart your server.

Jackie,

I just had this issue that took me a little bit of time to figure out.

In the $hostname_localhost of the localhost.php page if you're developing on your local machine, "localhost"; should work. If you are on the actual server and getting this error the path needs to change to the database server address, see my $hostname_localhost information below for reference:

$hostname_localhost = "daddyshomecms.db.#######.hostedresource.com"; $database_localhost = "daddyshomecms";

I'm using this on Godaddy hosting and is working well. PHPmyAdmin if available will give you the database server name.

Hope this helps
