Should I? Also, I've noticed that when I go to the address bar to select a URL from the drop-down box, that the address to the admin_forums is in it and that when I click on it, I'm already logged in to the admin. Is this normal? Is this just a saved password acting up or is this something I'm going to have to change the CHMOD on??? Thanks

I got it to work by typing in "localhost" followed by a ':' and the default port number. Thanks though for your help!

Re: Need help installing on an edu server... (3 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 troubleshooting)
Ummm, okay. Well heres what I did...
On the punBB installation screen, it asks you for your database server hostname, and then it asks for the database name. The server or at least the identifier I've always used for my database is "indstate.edu/mysql" and it has worked in the past with that b2evolution. Well, obviously it doesn't seem to be working now, and I need help making it work. So where it says "Database Server Name", is that where I'm supposed to place the IP address followed by the port number? And if so, how do I find out which port number I should use?
P.S. - Would signing into my database in internet explorer and running "netstat -ano" tell me which IP and port number I should use? Or do I call the admin of the server and get that info...??? I know for a fact that my webspace where my HTML and PHP files are stored is on a seperate server than the database... So that "localhost" is going to be changed... Right?

Okay. I've downloaded the 1.2 version of punBB. I've uploaded the folder to the server, and went to install, and I can't get it to cooperate. I'm sure it's something I'm doing, but am having problems with getting it to work... This is the message that I received:
"An error occured on line 58 in file /home/c/cburk1/public_html/punBB/include/dblayer/mysql.php.
PunBB reported: Unable to connect to MySQL server. MySQL reported: Unknown MySQL Server Host 'indstate.edu/mysql' (2)"
Am I providing the wrong information about my server path to the database or something??? Please someone help me shine some light on this... Thanks
