I run on a rackspace virtual server
I have .75 running fine.
I loaded a new copy in a new place on same server, created a new database manually (I run on plesk and it sucks for that). I spit the data from the 75 out and sucked it into the new database. Now they run seperately in different directrories.

I try to run it and get cannot connect to database. The config.php looks good, the mysql looks right. I go to the index.php?whateveradmin that was in the docs, and still no connection to database.

Funny thing is I cant get it to run even as a fresh install. So I wonder how plesk makes the SQL database. I set the prime user when I do it manually so it should work. And I got it to work on another site (different domain though) as original install. I should probably test that one with the data from this other domain.

So, what do you think?

You've almost certainly got a problem with the values in config.php (possibly the encoded flag?).

-Mark

$pnconfig['system'] = '0';
$pnconfig['prefix'] = 'PN';
$pnconfig['encoded'] = '1';
$pnconfig['pconnect'] = '0';
$pnconfig['temp'] = 'pnTemp';

I took the config.php from the running site and just altered the database name to the one I created and populated with the running site data (I dumped it after I changed the default to lite and saved it that way) The database is there, and I have made several dupes.

I am running on PLESK. I did take a shell, uploaded the gzip and did it that way, very nice very fast, but still no change. I too think it may just be some stupid thing in the config file. It is the old one just the one variable changes.

1. do you use plain text values for username and password (in this case set encoded=0)?
2. can you access the database with e.g. phpMyAdmin?

ok, now I got in, but get a horrible ability not to login and no menus. It is picking up some of the stuff, but not all. I get the stories popping up on main page no login menu etc. when I put the
index.php?module=Modules&type=admin

I get header footer and that I do not have permission to get to it.

Please read the documentation supplied in manual.txt.

Marfk I am living this document.

I think I have done it all, what have I missed, I installed on the server. I am going now to the shell to see if I can do the access, but is there some direction you think I missed here? Hardest is to NOT do the steps for the lower versions. I know I have to initialize the admin stuff, but how to get there other than the URL you supplied. Ahh, well I continue to read it over and over.

With the information you've provided it's not possible to say what steps you've missed. In short make sure that you've upgraded/activated each module and also initialise/activate the header_footer module.

Maybe you have itthere. Mark, when I went to make sure about all the modules, I could not find anything about header/footer. I assumed (the big ass word) that meant to copy all the header footer info in settings. I cant find a headerfooter module to initialize. I will do the install again though, it is getting so fast now. From 4 hours to less than 1 now. I will go back and look for that footermod.

where is a header footer module to be found?

Like any module you'll find it in the modules admin panel.....

-Mark

it is not in my 7.5 modules dir, I cannot find it anywhere. Is there a place to download it? The Plesk installs the program and there is no such module there. it says it is 0.750 but I am not sure with Plesk, they mess with installs a lot.

No it won't be.... This module is new with .760 - it takes care of the page display (header and footer) for non Xanthia themes.

-Mark

But if I cant get in to admin the thing, how can I initialize and do this stuff? I am now totally lost.

I think you are assuming I can get in to initialize and I cannot. I would be so happy to do so.
