 |

| Quote: | | Parse error: parse error in /home/whispers/public_html/updates/b2/b2config.php on line 17 |
Is what I receive after configuring b2config.php & uploading everything.
Here's my code:
| Code: | <?php
/* *
* b2's config file *
* */
# Reminder: everything that starts with #, /* or // is a comment
/* Start editing */
# $siteurl is your blog's URL: for example, 'http://mydomain.com' (no trailing slash !)
#
$blogfilename is the name of the default file for your blog
#
$blogname is the name of your blog
$siteurl = 'http://whisperslip.nu/updates/b2';
$blogfilename = '../index.shtml';
$blogname = "update bucket";
$blogdescription = "wee~!";
# fill these only if you have a Cafelog ID,
# this enables your blog to be in the Recently Updated b2 blogs list.
# to obtain this ID, e-mail [email protected] with these details:
# name of the weblog, weblog's URL, your e-mail address, and a password
# in the future, the password will allow you to change these details online
$cafelogID = '0';
$use_cafelogping = 0; # set this to 1 if you do have a Cafelog ID
#
$pathserver is where you have uploaded b2: for example, 'http://mydomain.com' (no ending slash !)
# by default b2 is set to run in the folder your blog resides, same as $siteurl
$pathserver = 'http://whisperslip.nu/updates/b2';
# your email (obvious uh ?)
$admin_email = '[email protected]';
# set this to 0 or 1, whether you want new users to be able to post entries once they registered
$new_users_can_blog = 0;
# set this to 0 or 1, whether you want to allow users to register on your blog.
$users_can_register = 0;
# day at the start of the week: 0 for Sunday, 1 for Monday, 2 for Tuesday, etc
$start_of_week = 1;
//
** MySQL settings **
# fill with your database details
$dbname = 'updates'; // the name of the database
$dbhost = 'localhost'; // 99% chances you won't need to change this value
$dbusername = 'raechell'; // your MySQL username
$dbpassword = 'nwn1uv'; // ...and password
# database tables' names (change them if you want to have multiple b2's in a single database)
$tableposts = 'b2posts';
$tableusers = 'b2users';
$tablesettings = 'b2settings';
$tablecategories = 'b2categories';
$tablecomments = 'b2comments';
// |
I stopped after the MySQL settings because I don't think anything is wrong after that. =) |

That's how it came, and instead of viewing b2config.php in the browser, I just viewed the folder. This is what the message says 'now':
| Quote: | Parse error: parse error in /home/whispers/public_html/updates/b2/b2config.php on line 17
Can't connect to the database . MySQL said:
No Database Selected |
I've deleted the database. Still doesn't work.
I've renamed the database and the database information. Still didn't work.
| Code: | ** MySQL settings **
# fill with your database details
$dbname = 'updates'; // the name of the database
$dbhost = 'localhost'; // 99% chances you won't need to change this value
$dbusername = 'rae'; // your MySQL username
$dbpassword = '1111'; // ...and password
# database tables' names (change them if you want to have multiple b2's in a single database)
$tableposts = 'b2posts';
$tableusers = 'b2users';
$tablesettings = 'b2settings';
$tablecategories = 'b2categories';
$tablecomments = 'b2comments';

Line 17 is | Code: | | $blogfilename = '../index.shtml'; |
cannot have ../ in it. It should be just the file name without any path in it |

Firstly, I suspect that the $blogfilename should be index.php and not index.shtml
Secondly, can you confirm you have installed b2 by running b2install.php
Thirdly, are you sure your database's name is updates? Although you may have created a database called updates, many hosts stick a prefix in front of it so it ends being called something like whispers_updates. The same thing happens to the username - check in your control panel to see what it says. |

I tried changing to whispers_updates and whispers_rae, and I received no results. =(
I renamed the file to index.php. Switched back and forth from whispers_updates to just updates.
No results...
[edit] I tried running b2install and I receive the same error message. |

| What does your control panel say about the names, where you created the database? |

whispers_rae (Privileges: ALL PRIVILEGES)

Perl $dbh = DBI->connect("DBI:mysql:whispers_updates:localhost","whispers_rae","<PASSWORD HERE>");
PHP $dbh=mysql_connect ("localhost", "whispers_rae", "<PASSWORD HERE>") or die ('I cannot connect to the database because: ' . mysql_error());
mysql_select_db ("whispers_updates");

OK. So now you should have:
| Code: | $dbname = 'whispers_updates'; // the name of the database
$dbhost = 'localhost'; // 99% chances you won't need to change this value
$dbusername = 'whispers_rae'; // your MySQL username
$dbpassword = 'your password'; // ...and password |
Replace 'your password' by whatver password goes with whispers_rae user.
Then run b2install.php. It should create tables in the database. If it does, delete b2install.php and then your blog is ready |
