PLEASE HELP ME !!!

Post by Spêêd-Rô¢k »

I just created an account with coolfreepages which give free PHP and MySQL hosting service.

I downloaded a file from http://www.phpbb.com and uploaded it to http://maniax.iwebland.com/ with the username, password. The SQL Database Name, account name and password was also provided.

I want to know that can a whole board run on a 50 MB HDD space for lifetime ????

Now I want the following details :

1. The phpbb Board ask for Database Type which one should i choose :
MySQL 3.x
MySQL 4.x
PostgreSQL 7.x
My SQL Server 7/2000
MS Access [ODBC]
MS SQL Server [ODBC]

2. The phpbb Board asks for Database Server Hostname / DSN, what should i enter.

3. The phpbb Board asks for Prefix for tables in database, what should i enter.

4. It requires Domain Name, what should i enter.

5. It requires Server Port, what should i enter.

6. It requires Script path, what should i enter.


Please help me with the above information to setup my board.


Thank You.

From what I can see, CoolFreePages don't offer any kind of database resource. If the did, MySQL would probably be the database type because PHP and MySQL fit together like a hand and glove.

Try this...
  1. MySQL 3.x
  2. localhost
  3. leave as is
  4. leave as is
  5. leave as is
  6. leave as is
:)

Really depends on how much traffic you get, but lets just say that right now, even this board is well below that limit.
Now I want the following details :

Welll...you can find that out from a phpinfo page, but I am being nice, the first 1.
2. The phpbb Board asks for Database Server Hostname / DSN, what should i enter.
That would be the host the server is on...again, probably localhost.
3. The phpbb Board asks for Prefix for tables in database, what should i enter.
Whatever you want as the prefix for your tables... You can easily keep it default.
4. It requires Domain Name, what should i enter.
!!! You have to be serious. What is your domain name?
5. It requires Server Port, what should i enter.
Nothing...
6. It requires Script path, what should i enter.
The path to your script as it says in the instructions.
