HI there,

I've been going in circles for hours so maybe someone can get me out of this loop I'm in.

This is a brand new install.

I've created a new database for the roster, so the dbase is currently empty
I've uploaded the roster files to the default /roster directory
I've uploaded the image pack files

My site: http://www.chaosbleeds.com/roster/

When I try to run the the install.php file I get

"Not Found
The requested URL /roster/install.php was not found on this server

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request. "

If i try going just to http://www.chaosbleeds.com/roster/ I get the following

Cannot get roster configuration from database
MySQL Said: 1146: Table 'chaosb5_wow.roster_config' doesn't exist

You might not have roster installed
INSTALL

If I click INSTALL I get the "cannot find install.php" error. I can see the install.php file though cuteftp so I know it's there.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Brienprime

First, delete conf.php
Then make sure you have all the files uploaded to your server

Thanks for the suggestions, this is what I did:

- I've re-downloaded a full version of the Roster.
- Deleted the old Roster dir from my site.
- Re-Uploaded the Roster dir (and everything inside it)
- I compared the two directory/file structures, they are identical.
- There is no conf.php file.
- I get the same errors

PHP version: 4.4.1
MySQL version: 4.1.21-standard

Thanks again,
Brienprime

Ok, so you re-uploaded the files, then tried to run the install correct?

Affirmative.

Redownloaded everything, reuploaded everything, then made sure that all the files were uploaded, and I get the same error as I originally posted.

It's got to be something with my website host, I can get it running on a test server at a friends house and had 1.7.1 and a couple other previous versions running before with no problems.

Thanks,

Go into your web host's config panel and see if you can get your db connection information

Not sure if this is what you're asking for... (my host uses cpanel in case this isn't the stuff and you know where in cpanel I should look)

MySQL charset: UTF-8 Unicode (utf8)
MySQL connection collation: utf8_unicode_ci

thanks again,

It's under the mysql database icon

Ahh, this stuff?

chaosb5_roster16 (Privileges: ALL PRIVILEGES)

Connection Strings
Perl $dbh = DBI->connect("DBI:mysql:chaosb5_wow:localhost","chaosb5_roster16","<PASSWORD HERE>");
PHP $dbh=mysql_connect ("localhost", "chaosb5_roster16", "<PASSWORD HERE>") or die ('I cannot connect to the database because: ' . mysql_error());
mysql_select_db ("chaosb5_wow");

Thanks,

Yes, now open conf.php and make yours look like this

Code: Select all

<?php
/******************************
 * AUTO-GENERATED CONF FILE
 * DO NOT EDIT !!!
 ******************************/

$db_host   = "localhost";
$db_name   = "chaosb5_wow";
$db_user   = "chaosb5_roster16";
$db_passwd = "******";
$db_prefix = "roster_";

define('ROSTER_INSTALLED', true);
?>

ok, I added a conf.php file

I get the original two messages

Cannot get roster configuration from database
MySQL Said: 1146: Table 'chaosb5_wow.roster_config' doesn't exist

You might not have roster installed
INSTALL

Clicking install gives me:

Not Found
The requested URL /roster/install.php was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Apache/1.3.37 Server at www.chaosbleeds.com Port 80

ok, delete conf.php and enter the values you have in the conf.php file into the installer

Host = localhost
Databse Name = chaosb5_wow
User Name = chaosb5_roster16
Password ******
Table prefix = roster_

Thanks for all the help.

My hosting company moved the server my roster was loaded onto and left the old one running. So I had 2 copies of the roster, one I could access (the old one) and one I couldn't (the new one).

They've deactivated the old site and got the new one running, it's installing just fine now.
