  1. ;D Cool! You are the man! I didn't know about this feature. But I am still not clear about the details. When adding an A Record in my ADVANCED DNS Settings what do I put in the SOURCE FIELD and do I enter my IP address in the destination field? Not thinking anything (duh), I added the following A Record to my settings. Source:www.nathaliesteinfeld.com Destination: MY_IP And of course every time I tried to access my website it was forwarded to my computer administrator login. If I set my advanced settings up the right way, what am I calling up as my URL to view my Blog? Would it be something like the following?? http://localhost:8080/Homeblog/index.php (the folder Homeblog is a subfolder in my Apache htdocs)
  2. Thanks so much. I attached the folder. You can tell me anytime if you need more info. [attachment deleted by admin]
  3. I would run my blog remote if I would know how? What do I type into the URL window. When I try to see my php pages online I get a blank page like the one at http://www.nathaliesteinfeld.com/Blog/blg/index.php (/Blog/blg/ is where I store my php files on my online webserver) I would hate all my work to go to waste just because of an technical small problem I found a page at geocities.com that explains how to define host and database http://help.yahoo.com/us/geo/mysql/mysql-06.html This site talks about localhost too. But I can't make it work. Hope that makes it clearer
  4. Hey wildteen, I got the installation part all figured out with the help of http://www.puremango.co.uk/cm_wamp_97.php I did not know that there was a php.ini in C:\Windows. I had to uncomment the extension in that file. And I had to copy C:\PHP\ext\php_mysql.dll to C:\Windows. I still haven't figured out how to connect to my database on geocities. Thanks for all your help, Nathalie
  5. I should also tell you that... My web host is Geocities or yahoo and I want to connect to my online database blg_blog.
  6. I am so stuck  :-[ I guess PHP is using the right php.ini file. Where or in which file would I have to change or check the file name? However, I think my PHP setup is ok, because I tested it by going to http://localhost/Homeblog/phpinfo.php My PHP files including php.ini are saved in C:\Web\PHP and my apache files are saved in C:\Web\Apache2. All my php including index.php are saved in the C:\Web\Apache2\htdocs\Homeblog file. It would be great if you would tell me what information you need in order to understand my setup because I have no clue as of where to start explaining. Could you also maybe give me an example of how you connect to your database, host name and database name? Thanks, Nathalie
  7. Thats not it. I already enabled the mysql extensions and I also defind the path to my folders. I followed the instructions in Step-by-Step Help from NicholasSolutions very closly. Thank you very much, any help is greatly appreaciated.
  8. I have a few questions for you experienced people out there: I have my php files in the Apache2.2/Homeblog/htdocs folder. When I access my index.php file on my Browser under http://localhost/HomeBlog/index.php I get this error message: Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysql_pconnect() in C:\Web\Apache2\htdocs\HomeBlog\Connections\connBlog.php on line 9 In my connBlog.php I have the following definitions. $hostname_connBlog = "mysql"; $database_connBlog = "blg_blog"; I am not sure, but I think that is what I need to set the values to. I think geocities database hostnames are always mysql. Also, do I pick the database name that I defined in phpMyAdmin for the database_connBlog? So why is it that I still can't connect to my database?
  9. Mmhh, I guess nobody had an answer to my question?! However, I found a website that gave me some great instructions for apache and php installation on Windows XP. For all the struggling people out there go to the following link. http://www.expertsrt.com/tutorials/Matt/install-apache.html
  10. Hi, I am a newbie and I know that you must have heard this question about a million times. I installed PHP5 and Apache2.0 manually (by inserting some code in the different files according to online instructions). When I try to run Apache, I get an error message, that tells me that I need to insert a port in the httpd.conf file. So far I entered the ServerName www.nathaliesteinfeld.com : 80 in the file, but it still gave me an error. Does anyone know why and how I can get Apache to run? I guess I need Apache first to run my  php files? Thats where the next problem starts... I am following the instructions to build a blog with Dreamweaver by Zaharia, but when I publish or test my files they appear blank. Any ideas as of why that happens? Thanks so much, I think you guys are a great bunch for helping us newbies out and I will try to return whatever knowledge I might gain to the community.  Nathalie
