Help with Understanding Php Server file thing for PhpFox

[Ad4m]

Hi, i'm installing Phpfox on my website and i've got to set up this php file but i don't quite understand it, if someone could tell me what i put in these fields would be greatly appreciated, thanks for just looking

 

<?php

global $_CONF;

 

$_CONF = array();

 

$_CONF['db']['host'] = '********';

$_CONF['db']['user'] = '********';

$_CONF['db']['pass'] = '********';

$_CONF['db']['name'] = '********';

 

$_CONF['path'] = dirname(dirname(dirname(__FILE__))).'/';

 

$_CONF['domain']          = '************';

$_CONF['host']            = $_CONF['domain'].'/';

$_CONF['http']            = '';

$_CONF['https']          = '';

$_CONF['rewrite_engine']  = true;

$_CONF['path_translated'] = true;

?>

 

 

Thankyou.

They look pretty self explanitory. Its asking for your database host, username, password, name as well as your domain name.

<?php

global $_CONF;

 

$_CONF = array();

 

$_CONF['db']['host'] = 'db host (i know)';

$_CONF['db']['user'] = 'db user (i know)';

$_CONF['db']['pass'] = 'Adam';

$_CONF['db']['name'] = 'myamazingpassword';

 

$_CONF['path'] = dirname(dirname(dirname(__FILE__))).'/';    <-- I DONT KNOW THIS

 

$_CONF['domain']          = 'WWW.MYWEBSITE.COM';

$_CONF['host']            = $_CONF['domain'].'/';                        <--    ??????????

$_CONF['http']            = 'WWW.MYWEBSITE.COM';

$_CONF['https']          = 'WWW.MYWEBSITE.COM';

$_CONF['rewrite_engine']  = true;

$_CONF['path_translated'] = true;

?>

 

if you could tell me what that Path file is for that'd be swell

I'm sorry that im new.

It is used to find the path to this file itself. From there, $_CONF['path'] would be used throughout the application as the applications root.

 

Don't change it unless you know what your doing.

Leave that line as is, it will automatically define the path. phpFox should come with some form of documentation which explains what each of the $_CONFIG settings do.

 

The settings you want to concentrate on are the ones starting with $_CONF['db'] and $_CONF['domain']. That's it.

 

Edit, beaten to it

hey thankyou for your replys.

 

<?php

global $_CONF;

 

$_CONF = array();

 

$_CONF['db']['host'] = '

p41mysql133.secureserver.net';

$_CONF['db']['user'] = 'myusername';

$_CONF['db']['pass'] = 'mypassword';

$_CONF['db']['name'] = 'databasename';

 

$_CONF['path'] = dirname(dirname(dirname(__FILE__))).'/';

 

$_CONF['domain']          = 'www.poundpup.net/muse';

$_CONF['host']            = $_CONF['www.poundpup.net/muse/'].'/';

$_CONF['http']            = 'www.poundpup.net/muse/';

$_CONF['https']          = 'www.poundpup.net/muse/';

$_CONF['rewrite_engine']  = true;

$_CONF['path_translated'] = true;

?>

 

 

 

before, i was told that line 11 of this php file was the error and now that i have entered this i only get a blank page.

[wildteen88]

This line:

$_CONF['host']            = $_CONF['www.poundpup.net/muse/'].'/';

 

Should be, you should not need to modify that line:

$_CONF['host']            = $_CONF['domain'].'/';

[Ad4m]

i changed it so that the bottom of the php file is:

 

$_CONF['domain']          = 'www.poundpup.net/muse';

$_CONF['host']            = $_CONF['domain'].'/';

$_CONF['http']            = 'www.poundpup.net/muse/';

$_CONF['https']          = 'www.poundpup.net/muse/';

$_CONF['rewrite_engine']  = true;

$_CONF['path_translated'] = true;

?>

 

I'm sorry to be a trouble but i still get a blank screen

[Ad4m]

i tried editing it, but it's the same with a blank screen

Have a read of phpfox support page. phpfox should come with a web based installer by going to yoursite.com/install/install.php the installer will configure phpfox for you.

[Ad4m]

hey, i had a good search round the support area,

 

i found this, incase other people are having the same problem.

 

<?php

global $_CONF;

$_CONF = array();

$_CONF['db']['host'] = 'localhost or your mysql address';

$_CONF['db']['user'] = 'username';

$_CONF['db']['pass'] = 'password';

$_CONF['db']['name'] = 'databasename';

$_CONF['path'] = dirname(dirname(dirname(__FILE__))).'/';

$_CONF['domain'] = 'domainname.com';

$_CONF['host'] = $_CONF['domain'].'/';

$_CONF['http'] = 'http://';

$_CONF['https'] = 'http://';

$_CONF['rewrite_engine'] = true; (or whatever you currently use)

$_CONF['path_translated'] = true;

?>

 

 

that's how you're supposed to do it

[wildteen88]

Thats what you had originally!  ???
