Good movie, thank you Thomas. I cut and pasted the script as shown. I now have a new error message: Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Access denied for user 'cpanelusername@'localhost' (using password: YES) in /home3/cpanelusername/public_html/forum/config.php on line 7 I cannot connect to the database because: Access denied for user 'cpanelusername_databasename'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

Thank you for moving this to the right place. I am sorry, I was not clear on my original post, let me try to clarify - This is the error message I get when I try to access the forum on my site, now hosted on TCH: I uploaded the forum to the public_html folder, is this the right place for it to be? $dbms = 'mysql'; is this line correct? On GoDaddy it read "$dbms = 'mysql4';"

I spent yesterday reading in the forums how to change my php.config file to allow login to my site's phpbb2 forum, using File Manager & editor. Which brings me to the usual questions: 1. Can I have only one user on both my databases? 2. I uploaded the forum to the public_html folder, is this the right place for it to be? 3. this is the error message I get when I try to access the forum: phpBB : Critical Error Could not query config information DEBUG MODE SQL Error : 1146 Table 'myusername_mydatabase.phpbb_config' doesn't exist SELECT * FROM phpbb_config Line : 215 File : common.php Obviously I have foofoo-ed (AGAIN) bigtime, WOTASURPRISE!!!! This is what was originally in my php.config file: <?php // phpBB 2.x auto-generated config file // Do not change anything in this file! $dbms = 'mysql4'; $dbhost = 'mysql273.secureserver.net'; $dbname = 'MYDATABASENAME'; $dbuser = 'MYDATABASEUSER'; $dbpasswd = 'MYPASSWORD'; $table_prefix = 'phpbb_'; define('PHPBB_INSTALLED', true); ?> and this is what I changed it to: <?php // phpBB 2.x auto-generated config file // Do not change anything in this file! $dbms = 'mysql'; $dbhost = 'localhost'; $dbname = 'MYUSERNAME_THECORRECTDATABASENAME'; $dbuser = 'MYUSERNAME_MYDBUSERNAME'; $dbpasswd = 'MYDBPASSWORD'; $table_prefix = 'phpbb_'; define('PHPBB_INSTALLED', true); ?> WOT went wrong?

My name is Henrietta and I am new to the forum. I would describe myself as being at first grade level, I know a little but am working on learning 'joined up writing'. Been selling on eBay both at auction and a store for years, and like so many others I am a refugee from incessant increases in fees and corresponding decreases in service received. I will still be on eBay but with a much lower profile. I came here to TCH because of this forum. I am awed by the unfailing patience & courtesy I have observed. Thank you in advance because I am sure my very basic questions will drive you equally mad. I signed up for Silver Level hosting because that was the closest to the GoDaddy hosting I am abandoning. GoDaddy has good support but also 'issues' with shopping carts other than their own, which do not fit my needs. REALLY Basic Questions 1. What exactly is 'transfer' 2. Bandwidth? Is there an internet terms dictionary anywhere with definitions? Shop Carts 1. Is there anyone who has Suncart, AND is using it? IMO Suncart has dreadful customer support and the current version is clunky, but I bought it because it was on the Paypal list. It does not appear on the current list of Paypal compatible carts. Lesson learned. If either of the available carts is better I will try to sell my Suncart license. 2. I see that there are two carts available at TCH, although neither seems to be on the Paypal list, and am wondering how customizable they are as far as front end appearance goes. I do not want to get into the monthly cart rental payments thing. I am now at zero tolerance point for others skimming a cut off my sweat and tears. 3. Would welcome input about relative ease of use, mainly back end, for Agora or Interchange. 4. I am going to eventually be sharing my site with two other eBay sellers. Is there any way to have separate carts on the same site? SSL I do not have a problem with paying fees to Paypal, even if they are owned by eBay, mainly because their fees appear to be lower than any other solution I have found to date, including Costco's merchant processing. 1. I believe, but am not certain, that I do not need an SSL if all my payments are processed with Paypal? 2. Is the SSL tied to the server or shared hosting provider? The question here is that TCH seems to be about FIVE times higher than I have seen elsewhere. Can I still use the certificate obtained elsewhere when I transfer my domain? Moving I am not feeling terribly confident about this. 1. I should backup my databases to my own computer before I do anything? 2. What is the correct order to move files. 3. Is there a way to duplicate everything here before I actually move the domain? Thanks again
