Welcome to the forums Saige Can you still copy CD's with Record Now? If so can you copy the files with Record Now?

Soap

My previous host allowed add-on domains. It is easily abused by a customer selling space to friends. And that is how the server is overloaded. The host thinks they have say 100 customers on a server when in fact there is no way to tell how many people are on the server. Before I left my last host my site was off line more than online. And I had a lot of trouble connecting with ftp, too many ftp users online. And that is why I am here.

And when you upload, ftp to the domain/folder unless you create an ftp account to go to that folder, which I find to be easier.

I like to keep a copy of my .htaccess file on my computer as a backup and to edit.

Totalchoicehosting is one place I trust with my ISP address for billing and the contact address. I do not use it for anything else and have never received any spam.

Glad you got it connected. Can't help on the login, not a phpb user until today and I am off to work. But there may be other family members that can help.

Lou, say your cpanel name is lou and you created a database called forum with a user called me and a password of password edit the config.php file with a text editor or in cpanels filemanager locate the forum folder and click on the file and select edit change the bold parts to your database info <?php // phpBB 2.x auto-generated config file // Do not change anything in this file! $dbms = 'mysql'; $dbhost = 'localhost'; $dbname = 'lou_forum'; $dbuser = 'lou_me'; $dbpasswd = 'password'; $table_prefix = 'phpbb_'; define('PHPBB_INSTALLED', true); ?>

Ok I installed phpBB2 Yes you need to edit the config.php file to change the database info - database connect ---- Be sure that in MySql you 1 - created the database 2 - created a user 3 -added the user to the database (go back to MySql and find the Add user select the user and database, and then Add user to database) Then to connect to the database in a script use: host: localhost database: yourCpanelName_databaseName user: yourCpanelName_databaseUser password: mypassword * Note password is just as the password, do not add the CpanelName to it. --------------------------- give that a try.

As you have a different database name and user you may need to edit a config file that points to the database. I don't use PhpBb but will try to find it.

Glad you are happy Lou Let us know if you need more help and your progress.

I run anypassword from a USB drive and use it on many computers. When I plug the USB drive in I select the password progarm and have to enter just one password to open it. Then I close it when I leave the computer. Your first account was created before the change to computer generated names.
