Codezwiz >> Forums >> General PHP Nuke Help >> Problem with the MySQL server

Ok I'm pretty sure i know the poblem. I was trying to do something with the user block v3. Add something into the config.php file. My user block got crazy with retarded writing. So i delted it, still stayed. So I over writed it with the config.php file i got from phpnuke.org. that was my first mistake. i then got an error about the db files. so i overwrote all of them and all of the root files. footer,header, all of those. So i get There seems to be a problem with the MySQL server, sorry for the inconvenience.

We should be back shortly.

You need to edit the config.php file and insert your database info. You will see these instructions on the top of the config file:

# dbpass: SQL Password
# dbname: SQL Database Name
# $prefix: Your Database table's prefix
# $user_prefix: Your Users' Database table's prefix (To share it)
# $dbtype: Your Database Server type. Supported servers are:
# MySQL, mysql4, postgres, mssql, oracle, msaccess,
# db2 and mssql-odbc
# Be sure to write it exactly as above, case SeNsItIvE!
# $sitekey: Security Key. CHANGE it to whatever you want, as long
# as you want. Just don't use quotes.
# $gfx_chk: Set the graphic security code on every login screen,
# You need to have GD extension installed:
# 0: No check
# 1: Administrators login only
# 2: Users login only
# 3: New users registration only
# 4: Both, users login and new users registration only
# 5: Administrators and users login only
# 6: Administrators and new users registration only
# 7: Everywhere on all login options (Admins and Users)
# NOTE: If you aren't sure set this value to 0
# $subscription_url : If you manage subscriptions on your site, you
# must write here the url of the subscription
# information/renewal page. This will send by
# email if set.
