The age-old line 58 error! (Page 1 of 2)

u mean ver1.3?

and how can i create the database firs?

well:
- Atually I'm not familiar with command line. could u tell me what exactly i should write?
- and is there any problem if i replased iso encoding with utf8 in all php files?

what charset sould i use from phpMyAdmin? there's no iso?

It's one of the latin character sets. Can't remember the specific name offhand, though.

so what if i used utf8 in db then? with replacing iso references with utf-8 references in all php files?

I've tried 1.3, the "error msg v1.3" was:

An error was encountered

Unable to select database. MySQL reported: Unknown database 'rdb'
The error occurred on line 55 in C:\Program Files\xampp\htdocs\punbb13\upload\include\dblayer\mysql.php

without even the installation step!

?

I have the following config.php file:

<?php

$db_type = 'mysql';
$db_host = 'localhost';
$db_name = 'rDB';
$db_username = 'root';
$db_password = '';
$db_prefix = 'table_';
$p_connect = false;

$base_url = 'http://localhost/punbb13/upload';

$cookie_name = 'punbb_cookie_ee7f53';
$cookie_domain = '';
$cookie_path = '/';
$cookie_secure = 0;

define('PUN', 1);

So i created an empty db called rDB, and i've got this:

An error was encountered

The error occurred on line 242 in C:\Program Files\xampp\htdocs\punbb13\upload\include\functions.php
Database reported: Table 'rdb.table_users' doesn't exist (Errno: 1146).

How can i guess the db structure?!

Well, I did.
1- I removed config.php file.
2- created a db called 'fDB'
3- ran install.php and filled the form with fDB as the db name.
The result was:

An error was encountered

Unable to connect to MySQL server. MySQL reported: Access denied for user 'ODBC'@'localhost' (using password: NO)
The error occurred on line 58 in C:\Program Files\xampp\htdocs\punbb13\upload\include\dblayer\mysql.php

I mean: the step2 didn't work in ver1.3. what can I do then?

Thank you!
Now here's the comoplete line-58-error solution:
1- if you have a config.php file in /upload folder remove it.
2- Use phpMyAdmin to create an empty database (charset for ver1.2: latin1_swedish_ci, for ver1.3: utf8-unicode-ci). let's call it "myDB". also check the mySQL username from overthere (let's say it was root@localhost).
3- run install.php and give the database the same name "myDB". and the mySQL username as "root".

Anas: Err, sort of.
That was what was necessary to solve the problem FOR YOU. The error simply means that the username/password given for the database were incorrect. Your problem was larger, in that you had neither a database nor a database username/password.
And as yemgi said, you shouldn't be using root. You should create an account just for the forum.
