lol thanks I already eventually figured out to setup the sql,

Ok now I guess everything is ready because it took me to a page that said now you have a portal system or something. Then asked me to create a superuser account, which I did

Problem is people were in here bugging me while I was typing the password so I think I may have entered the pass wrong because...

When I try to login with the Admin name and password it just goes right back to the page telling me to login again.

Even when i refresh the page its telling me to set up a superuser again, but i click the link and its the same page askin for the admin name and password, again i enter in what i "think" i typed but it just basically refreshes the same page and asks for me to enter it again.

I even tried to sign in to the normal site (not the admin) with that name and pass (because i clicked the option to create a normal user with same name and pass) and it wasnt right..

So ... is there a way to reset it where i can add a different admin name and pass?

Thanks, Proxy

If this helps I just did a request a new password and got a new password for the normal user and it logs in and works fine, but the one for the superuser still wont work

And is there a reason why everything on my site looks like .... (
_MYHOMEPAGE [ Register or login to view links on this board. ]
_USERSTATUS: _ONLINE
_NOTSUBSCRIBED ) ?????

everything on the entire site is like _THIS any way i can fix that to display normally?

Thanks, Proxy

Nevermind guys i figured out how to change the admin pass lol

Thanks to those who had the patience and helped me

im having probs with my installation. i uploaded the files and went and made the database then i went to sql tab and uploaded the .sql file that makes tables then i went and made sure the name matches in config but i have no idea what you put as password in config? and when i look at my database on two of the tables named name and password it says null yes and default for them say null. im sure im real close to getting this thing running but just got stuck at the end. please help:)

You put your SQL database password in the config.php file along with your SQL database user name.

Example:

$dbhost = "localhost";
$dbuname = "DATABASE USERNAME HERE";
$dbpass = "DATABASE PASSWORD HERE";
$dbname = "DATABASE NAME HERE";
$prefix = "nuke";
$user_prefix = "nuke";
$dbtype = "MySQL";
$sitekey = "SdFk*fa24856-dm56w69.114422";
$gfx_chk = 0;
$subscription_url = "";

yeah i did that my prob is how do you set name and pass on db or does it automatically do, im really aggravated been trying all day, guess ill have to delete and install a cpanel one then examine database to see where name and pass is stored in myphp then delete it and reupload and start over cus my page dont work says sql error. i read the whole manual but it doesnt say anything bout setting a username and password for the database. so how can i fill in the password in config? right now pass looks something like fDrE$SdFFFdsfs do i just type in the config the real pass for example "boatanchor" ? like said i read the whole how to and it dont tell bout setting name and pass for database that i could find. it did have link for more info but i used the .pdf how to version and when i clicked it tried to go to link in acrobat and a sentinel thing popped up saying i was banned from their site for harvesting. lol go figure

Well the name you use to get into your webspace is the name, same goes for the password. The DB name is what you see in phpMyAdmin. Try this and see if it helps, just choose whatever CPanel you're using. [ Register or login to view links on this board. ]

my email says you replied echo asking if im on home based server or online server. im on a pay server that i dont own. you mean i have to use my name and password server gave me for it to work? what happened to your reply by the way?

When you go to your webspace...does it ask for a name and password?

not if i go to my domain name but if i go to ftp stuff up or go to cpanel management it does, i just installed a cpanel install in a test folder so going to examine database and config and hopefully see where im going wrong. by the way the test one doesnt show a god user either and if remember i was trying to get a god user is whole purpose of trying a regular install instead of cpanel install.
