Maybe I'm an idiot

The faq seems unhelpful. I've uploaded pligg to the server, started the install and I get this error.

../libs/dbconnect.php is writable: No
../libs/options.php does exist.: Yes

The file dbconnect.php doesn't even exist. What should I do? I've created a database, how do I tell the script that it's there? Or is there some other problem?

we've covered this in several other threads. 6.01 doesn't have it's own dbconnect.php file, here's the code for it. Create a new file, call it dbconnect.php and place it in your /libs directory.

PHP Code:

<?php
define("EZSQL_DB_USER", "root");
define("EZSQL_DB_PASSWORD", "root");
define("EZSQL_DB_NAME", "pligg");
define("EZSQL_DB_HOST", "localhost");
function _($s) {return $s;}
?>

You need to set permissions to the dbconnect.php file to 777. If it isn't in there you need to upload it from the older pligg version.

If anyone needs help installing pligg, email me at info@islandseven.com

function _($s) {return $s;}
?>

Ok, did that, still getting the same error.

Here's the change I made.

PHP Code:

<?php
define("EZSQL_DB_USER", "xxxxxx");
define("EZSQL_DB_PASSWORD", "xxxxx");
define("EZSQL_DB_NAME", "xxxxxx");
define("EZSQL_DB_HOST", "xxxxxxx");
function _($s) {return $s;}
?>

Did I do that right?

Oh, and I've chmodded the properties to 777.

Did it say the installation was complete? If so, then you just change permissions to the dbconnect.php file to 655. Be careful with putting you mysql and other passwords up like that...I'd edit that post if you can.

Don't worry, I'll change the pass and username later.

But, no, it's not able to install because of the errors.

What errors do you get now?

Can you post a link to the site?

[Nyx]

It's the same errors as above.

The site is www.pornpigg.com

If you're still getting

../libs/dbconnect.php is writable: No

then you'd want to chmod that file to 777.

If you manually edited the dbconnect.php file, and you're still getting

1. Error establishing a database connection!Are you sure you have the correct user/password?
2. Are you sure that you have typed the correct hostname?
3. Are you sure that the database server is running?

then you probably put the wrong info in.

You may need localhost or 127.0.0.1 for the server. Have you checked yours hosts FAQ's for MySQL?

Try manually editing the file with your details and change:
function _($s) {return $s;}
to
// function _($s) {return $s;}
