EE Setup Problems

[Next2net]

I 'm having problems setting up EE on my Affinity Hosting account. I think the PHP version is 4.06. I believe I have the connect.php correct, as follows:

$dbcnx = @mysql_connect("sql.ahnet.net", "next2n", "my password");

(! @mysql_select_db("next2n") )

Here is the error message I get when trying to coneect to http://www.next2net.com/gallery/setup.php:

Warning: Failed opening 'add/connect.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:') in /nfs/cust/5/4/2/next2n/gallery/setup.php/ on line 4

DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `ee_camera`

If you can, please help me.

Thank you,

Your server include path seems to be correct (.:) but still you PHP can't somehow use it. Try this:

Insert lines...




...into the beginning of setup.php and to very end of fetchsettings.php

If this does not work, contact your server support and ask them if there is some virtual account configuration problem causing this.

To me it seems also that in your server the php is installed WITHOUT mysql support (i.e. mysql is installed but PHP is not set to use it). Might want to check that, too.

I inserted these lines and did not seem to help. I have opened a trouble tkt. with the Affinity Technical helpdesk. I will keep you posted on the out come. Thank you for your quick response.

If you think of anything else that I might try, just let me know.

Thank you,

fyi - I was having a similar problem on install with my hosting account. I added the code indicated above and it worked like a charm.

Thanks for the tip, Pekka!
