Hello to all,<br /><br />I am trying to install a message forum on my site. Where do I find the correct info to enter in? I thought I knew the info, but what I enter in turns out to be incorrect. I know my DNS number, etc.<br />Can anyone help? Anyone installed one before?<br />Thanks!<!--content-->
installing from cpanel is easy, just click on bulletin board and tell it where to install. I think there is an issue with this though, try doing it this way and if you have a problem just open a help desk ticket. The support folks are usually pretty quick to help out.<!--content-->
I just installed Invision Board on my site, and following exactly the direction given in the manual there was no problem at all.<!--content-->
I recently installed the phpBoard that is listed on cpanel. It seems to work ok. <br /><br />Apparently it's supposed to be a one click thing. You click on "Bulliten Board" there and tell it what subdirectory you want the board installed in.<br /><br />*BUT* I ran into some problems. The installation status kept coming up blank. Bad sign? Apparently. I then got an install dialog when I tried to go to my forum. The middle section was a bit tricky to figure out, but I finally did... if you have that problem, post here w/ what it's asking for and I'll tell you what I ended up putting there.<!--content-->
tersted or anybody,<br /><br />I am a little confused by the invision install in these areas:<br /><br />Invision asks me for them:<br /><br />SQL Database Name <br />SQL Username <br />SQL Password <br /><br /><br />what do I put for each of these?<br /><br />Thanks<!--content-->
blackhood:<br /><br />You should find a link in CPanel called "Manage MySQL" under Databases. Click on that. Look for a textfield marked "Db:" and enter a name for the database you want to create for your forum. e.g. "forum". Click on the "Add DB" button. You should now have a database called yourcpanelusername_forum (e.g. "blackhood_forum")<br /><br />If you want to create a new user for the database, you may do it via the "Add User" textfields. Otherwise, you may use any existing users that you may have.<br /><br />Once you got your user, you have to add it to your account. Use the "Add User to Db" drop-down boxes to add a selected user to the selected database.<br /><br />In the Invision Board installation, the Database name would be the name of the database you created for it, e.g. blackhood_forum, the username and password are those that you have added to the blackhood_forum database.<br /><br />It should look something like this:<br /><br />Database Name: blackhood_forum (cpanel appends your cpanel username to the front of the name you specify)<br />Database User: blackhood_theman cpanel appends your cpanel username to the front of the name you specify)<br />Database Pass: abcdefgh<!--content-->
