Chat Program?

[marybetht]

hello,

 

does anybody know if there are any chat programs available in the CPanel? I know there use to be, but I am not seeing any now.

 

thanks,

No there is not one in cPanel or Fantastico any longer. Check out www.hotscipts.com. I'm sure you can find something there.

Bruce,

 

I found a chat program to use from that url you gave me. I have to edit the db.php file with my admin username & password and mysql username and password. I've never done this sort of thing before or used mysql before. Are the username and passwords my cpanel username and password? It is also asking for mysql hostname and database, how do I find those?

 

Thanks,

MB

Please see Dons database tutorial here on how to set up a database.

 

Host name would be "localhost".

Ok, I followed setting up the mysql database instructions and I edited the db.php file to reflect the database name, username and password, but the install is failing. These are the messages I get...

 

------------------------

 

Warning: mysql_query() [function.mysql-query]: Access denied for user 'nobody'@'localhost' (using password: NO) in /home/cpanelname/public_html/v3chatrooms/install/index.php on line 37

 

Warning: mysql_query() [function.mysql-query]: A link to the server could not be established in /home/cpanelname/public_html/v3chatrooms/install/index.php on line 37

Table Badwords Failed - FAIL

 

------------------------

 

Any idea what I am missing and why it is using nobody as username and NO as password. I did configure the db.php file with the username and password I setup. I am also wondering why it is using public_html, shouldn't it use the db I setup?

 

Thanks,

MB

Did you add your cpanel name to the database name and user in the db.php file?

as in

yourCpanelName_datbaseName

yourCpanelName_datbaseUserName

 

and did you add the user to the database?

[TCH-Bruce]

When you enter the configuration information it must be like this.

 

host="localhost";

dbuser="cpanelname_dbuser;

password="password";

dbname=cpanelname_dbname";

 

I don't know what variable names your script is using but the parts to the right of the equal sign is how they are to be entered.

That was it, Don & Bruce, it is working now, thanks!

 

You guys really are great here on this forum. I've been on so many others where people are not helpful at all. Can I send you guys some chocolate chip cookies or something?

[TCH-Bruce]

Glad we could help.

I'll take Bruce's cookies if he doesn't want 'em.

[TCH-Thomas]

Thanks for the offer, but I don't think I need anymore cookies. I am heavy enough thank you.

LOL, I know what you mean. None of us really need them, but they just taste so darn good.
