Hey guys! So-- I'm new to this whole... having a website and full access to PHP and databases and all those bells and whistles. I mean-- I'm not too incompetent when it comes to certain things, but it gets to be information overload, you know???
I'm here because I got grawlix for my webcomic that I want to launch!!! Problem is... I get as far as getting to the firstrun.php before I hit a dead end.
I've entered all my infos as instructed and I keep getting errors. First, I renamed the htaccess.txt to .htaccess and it either disappears or says "FileOp Failure on: .../htaccess.txt: Destination already exists"-- is that supposed to happen?!-- then, I got to firstrun, enter all the information for the database, including "localhost" as the host name and...
I get the following message: Couldn’t connect to the database. Check your information and try again.
So... I'll be honest, I'm at a loss here. ;A;
It could be because I'm not well versed in using mySQL, but I don't know. Props to you guys who manage to get that stuff going! Mind lending a silly goof a hand? :3
