Help to make a web server, please?

[rolf]

This is a copy of the imported database results: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1286780/lan/phpmyadmin.html

I did chmod 777 /var/www/html/uigabusinessportal/db.php but no change.

Maybe I should try with drupal. I see it's popular but I was afraid it was too advanced, overkill, maybe.

Drupal is good and truly an overkill
It all looks good there. I'll give it a shot. Back in 5......

[viking60]

Yeah that thing sux. How about Joomla http://www.joomla.org/
Joomla and drupal are two of the best but Joomla will be easier installation wise.

Ok, I'll take a look at drupal and joomla. I think you can see I followed your steps:

1 goto phpmyadmin
2 copy and paste 424619_uigabusinessportal into the create new database field and press go
3 Go to the import tab and browse to the file in the db folder that is called 424619_uigabusinessportal.sql and import it and press go

So, maybe another script will bring more joy. Thanks and I'll be back!!

[viking60]

Wait!
I'll take back the suck statement it works out of the box on my Archserver. You have just gotten a tiny bit wrong on your connection info! I am on it I have it too - on the admin folder...

[rolf]

I see, "require_once 'library/admin_config.php" in /var/www/html/uigabusinessportal/admin/admin_login.php" but no such file in library/

I see, "$errorMessage = '';
$admin_name="";
$admin_password="";
if (isset($_POST['admin_name']))"

in /var/www/html/uigabusinessportal/admin/admin_login.php....

I wonder how it worked so automagically for you

[viking60]

No I see exactly the same (The file is in admin/library) I just thought I should set the paths straight and tweak the files. But there are heavy bugs here so even if we get the admin part working there are probably others.
I only have the nice start page working after having entered the info in config.php. But in the admin folder there is trouble. Might be a good prophylactic strategy to pick another one after all? Joomla anyone

[rolf]

Yes, I think joomla or drupal will be better, in the long run. But, did you create a php.conf? I didn't find one in uigabusinessportal but I do see /etc/phpmyadmin/config.php from the phpmyadmin package.

[viking60]

config.php is in /uigabusinessportal/library

[rolf]

Oh, I see That solves the page display problem! However, I'm downloading the joomla stuff, now. Thanks!

[viking60]

And I just installed drupal - It has become much more painless then I remember I just want to check it out. Joomla has the rumor of being more user friendly. I can guarantee that you will be getting a lot of options. But they all are pretty straight forward.

[rolf]

So, I unzipped joomla and, reckoning from the previous database install, I am prepared to move it to document root but I don't see where the *.sql file to point phpmyadmin to might be.

Code: Select all

[rolf@localhost joomla]$ ls Joomla_1.5.22-Stable-Full_Package/
administrator/  configuration.php-dist  images/     installation/  LICENSE.php   modules/    tmp/
cache/          COPYRIGHT.php           includes/   INSTALL.php    LICENSES.php  plugins/    xmlrpc/
CHANGELOG.php   CREDITS.php             index2.php  language/      logs/         robots.txt
components/     htaccess.txt            index.php   libraries/     media/        templates/

There are some CL instructions and only mention of phpmyadmin as a possible method that I can see, no howto.

Edit: under /installation/sql/mysql there is joomla.sql
