New installation query

[SalTheWop]

OK, novice user here ,so go easy on me

I am about to install Photoshop ,but Im not too sure what I info I need to enter


PhotoPost Database Prefix (cannot be changed once set) - What do I enter here??


This next bit:
User Database Host (enter same info as above if not integrating with a third party forum)
User Database Name
User Database User
User Database Password


I am integrating with VB3.0.5 ,so what do I put?

Actually the first part:
PhotoPost Database Host
PhotoPost Database Name
PhotoPost Database User
PhotoPost Database Password
PhotoPost Database Prefix (cannot be changed once set)

Do I leave that as is ,and just choose a password?? Photopost will share the same database as VB

[Chuck S]

Okay your Photopost table prefix can be whatever you want usually it is pp_

Your database info would be what you setup.

if your using the same database as VB then enter the proper VB database info where is asks.

Your VB config.php file in the includes directory of the forum should have your mysql info to assist you in this.

OK, and what about this

User Database Host (enter same info as above if not integrating with a third party forum)
User Database Name
User Database User
User Database Password


Do I just leave the fields blank?

[Chuck S]

No those need to be filled in with the user database info

it says this below for those who are doing an internal install otherwise you enter the forum database info there. If the photopost database and the vb database is the same the same info goes in both sections as stated
(enter same info as above if not integrating with a third party forum)

Oh OK, I thought that VB was a third party forum ,as in,not part of Photopost.Thanks

[SalTheWop]

OK, installed . Went to www.hdfuk.net/Photopost

and got this
[b]Warning: chdir(): No such file or directory (errno 2) in /home/fhlinux198/h/hdfuk.net/user/htdocs/Photopost/header-inc.php on line 18

etc ,etc

SORTED !!! The path to the forum was wrong in config-int.php

[Chuck S]
