Trouble getting it to work.

[Fluxas]

I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to web hosting and such but I have bought some hosting at Ipage and am having some problems trying to get it all to work.

I'm using fileZila to put the files onto the server but i'm not sure what to put in the root folder. Do I put the whole chevereto folder into the route folder? I read I should put it in the public folder but there isn't one. so should I just create it?

I'm also having a problem where it says the directory as no index file, when i tryed just putting the chevereto file into the root.

Any ideas thanks.

You should upload the contents of the chevereto folder to the public folder of our website. So, the contents like:

• includes (folder)
• content (folder)
• admin (folder)
• images (folder)
• index.php
• api.php
• .htaccess

Should be directly inside the public folder of your webserver, usually "public_html". In this case the public folder seems to be "/".

Ok got it installed but I'm getting this error message now #

The system has encountered a error when it try to connect to the database server.

• PDOException: SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002] Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)#

any ideas? thanks.

It seems that you need to change the "localhost" for the sql server. Refer to your hosting company documentation. Which is your hosting provider?

Hosting with ipage.com

Ok so where abouts should i paste the code?

<?php
$link = mysql_connect('yourtacticscom.ipagemysql.com', 'wrdOVEBtyGs', '*password*');
if (!$link) {
die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}
echo 'Connected successfully';
mysql_select_db(wrd_iicmf6ncji);
?>

First of all get your db details... Example:

Then in includes/config.php, put that info there:

/**
* Database details (MySQL)
*/
$config['db_host'] = 'demouser.mytestmysql.com'; // localhost is mostly the default on all servers. Do not indicate port here!
$config['db_port'] = ''; // Some servers needs to indicate the port of the database hostname - default: don't set it
$config['db_name'] = 'demotest'; // Database must exists
$config['db_user'] = 'demouser'; // Database user with access to the above database name
$config['db_pass'] = 'the_password';
