hi,

having some problems with installing:

install.php gives me this warning:

…bbpress/bb-includes/db.php on line 61

followed by this

…bbpress/bb-includes/db.php on line 73

DB_HOST is not localhost, changed to db server mt info,

apparently it won’t support the db host name?

It will support a host name, but are you trying to use a port or a socket? I use MySQL servers on different hosts all the time, but they are always on the default port of 3306.

Can you post the BBDB_HOST line from your config.php?

Also, you didn’t post the actual warnings: what were those?

[@sambauers Participant 17 years, 4 months ago]

DB_HOST is not the right constant, do you mean BBDB_HOST ?

Warning info:

Warning: constant() [function.constant]: Couldn’t find constant BBDB_HOST in /mnt/…/html/bb-includes/db.php on line 61

Cannot select DB.

[@milo317 Member 17 years, 4 months ago]

BBDB_HOST line in config.php:

define(‘DB_HOST’, $_ENV{DATABASE_SERVER});

Big Sorry, folks: last post showed me my mistake.

Entering the RIGHT db host line solved my prob.
