Help needed installing phpmydirectory

[robs]

Hi all, new guy here 

 

Need some help please installing http://www.phpmydirectory.com/index.html

 

I have followed the instuctions for install but I am stuck at the first hurdle.

 

I had to configure the config file for mysql which is set up

 

<?php

$mysql_hostname = "localhost";

$mysql_user = "root";

$mysql_password = "";

$mysql_database = "database_name";

$prefix = "dir_";

?>

 

I am not sure what I should fill in for 'prefix'

 

Can someone please help?

You can leave it as is. Many scripts allow you set prefixes for table names, eg dir_table_name. The table name is created by phpmydirectory.

I thought so but I was not sure

 

I set all the mysql up and this worked as I had a different classifieds installed that worked fine, that has now been removed.

I came across phpmydirectory and it looks fairly professional so I decided to have a go installing it.

The strange problem I get is when I upload the files to the web server it says 'incorrect password'

but it is not. Also the file sizes when uploaded are slightly smaller.

I tried to do this on the cheap with free hosting from Denver Matrix but a 500kb file upload restriction was a problem so I have now paid for the hosting.

 

I am now waiting for some DNS stuff so once it is all ok I will have another bash

 

Thanks for the quick reply
