You need to install the script or edit the config.php file in order for those to change. Please read the install documentation that came with your script.

Well if you don't have the database that goes with the site you're pretty much out of luck and will have to do a fresh install of the software.

corey i have the database i just dont know what to change. ^^^ above is my edited version showing my config.php. any help with that?
Edit:
my maincore relates to config.php with this

// Locate config.php and set the basedir path
$folder_level = "";
while (!file_exists($folder_level."config.php")) { $folder_level .= "../"; }
require_once $folder_level."config.php";
define("BASEDIR", $folder_level);

// If config.php is empty, activate setup.php script
if (!isset($db_name)) redirect("setup.php");


please. any ideas what i need to do?

Did you restore the database?

 

[Reesey]

i basically took every file from my old datebase and have put it on here (i did a backup on my provider) and am useing those files, what i need to change on here to get it working i have no idea, really need some help with this.

 

[Corey]

How did you 'get every file' from your old database? Did you export it ? Where are these database files on your account so I can look?

 

[Reesey]

basically i created a backup. then downloaded the backup onto my hardrive. then took all the files out of the backup and uploaded them onto here, most of the files are in public_html

 

[Corey]

Okay unless you made a backup of the database it wouldn't be in your regular files. The databases are stored elsewhere on the server. If you didn't restore your database or don't know what I'm talking about you probably didn't get a backup of it. I'll look in your public_html for one though.

[Reesey]

there is a config.php other wise i dunna what your talking about. sorry im new to alot of this, so did u find anything corey?

 

[Corey]

hi,

I don't see any type of database backups on your account. I'm not sure how to explain this, if you have MSN please PM me your address and I'll try to explain on there.

You need to login to your PHPMyAdmin and import your .SQL file . You won't learn anything if I do this for you =P

 

[GG-Xtreme]

A database isn't files, it's a bunch of data tables that have rows and columns containing your site's data, including messages, users, etc., that can be updated and modified at any time by a script. When you backup a database, it will export all the data into a .sql text file, that is really just a list of SQL commands to recreate the database, row by row, column by column. If you don't have the .sql file, you don't have the database. You can import .sql files in PHPMyAdmin. Note that x10 does not support gzip compression, so keep that in mind when you set backup options.

ok i have the file, but stupid school has filterd out the file manager for some reason.so shall have a go with it when i get home, will i have to edit anything in it? or just upload it and i be fine?
