Thanks for your help Don, I double checked my values and they seemed okay. Then today I was installing another php script to another website (a newbie script person who is a glutton for punishment) and I noted the upload in binary or it won't work message. Tried uploading the first script in binary and it's working! Thanks again everyone, George

Thanks Raul, I know already how quick TCH support is but was amazed the forum was so quick too. I've hit a new problem Warning: mysql_pconnect(): Unknown MySQL Server Host 'DBSERVERHOST' (1) in /home/mydomain/public_html/phpyellow/installTestDBConnect.php on line 49 Failed to establish a database connection. Unknown MySQL Server Host 'DBSERVERHOST' (1) And it asks me to: double check your /* Database connectivity */ values. I had to edit the file as follows: ("DBNAME", "XXXX"); /* a name which uniquely identifies your own database, example: phpyellow */ define("DBUSERNAME", "XXX"); /* a name created by mysql for a mysql user of your database, example: root */ define("DBPASSWORD", "XXX"); /* a word created by mysql associated with a mysql user of your database, example: password */ define("DBSERVERHOST", "localhost"); /* a name which uniquely identifies the host server for your database, example: localhost */ Which bit refers to database connectivity? George

Wow! Thanks for the fast response both of you. George

I'm installing a script and have to modify a file. It asks for "a name which uniquely identifies the host server for your database, example: localhost". Any ideas what it would be for me? Thanks, George
