First time using any web hosting stuff. I am trying to install a program called statfink. It is a copy of Yahoo's Stat Tracker for fantasy football. I get to the page to configure my settings and I'm not sure what to fill in. I keep getting error messages. They are asking for
Full Url: The full url to your statfink install. Like http://www.yourserv.com/statfink/ Don't forget the trailing slash! Database Host: On most hosts this will be localhost, otherwise, the IP address for your db server. Database Name: The name of the database you want statfink to use. Database Username: Database username with rights to the database specified above. Database Password: Database password for the user specified above. Time Zone: Your Timezone from GMT. -5 is U.S. Eastern, -6 is Central, -7 is Mountain, and -8 is Pacific. Time Zone Name: The name of your timezone, abbreviations like ET, PT, MT and CT are preferred. Refresh Rate: Rate in seconds that you want statfink to refresh the stats. A good default is 30. Set this to a higher number if you don't care about up to the minute stats or you are worried about server resource usage. Enable FTP: Enable FTP Feature. This feature is useful when you have hosting that is too slow to run statfink. It allows you to tranfer the scores pages up to your slow hosting from your faster home machine running xampp or similar. FTP Server: FTP address of your public web server. FTP Username: Username for FTP transactions. FTP Password: Password for FTP transactions. FTP Directory: Directory the files need to go in on the ftp server. A lot of times this is public_html/ or public_html/statfink/ but this can also be blank. If this directory doesn't exist, GO CREATE IT NOW. Otherwise you'll get files dumped into the wrong place.
I know you probably need more info to help me, but I'm not even sure what to provide right now. Any advice would be much appreciated. If you actually want to see the program that I'm trying to deal with it is at http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=148137 . That may be the easiest way to help me. Thanks, DV:dunno:
