Yesterday I had PHP, MySQL, and PostNuke all working fine. But I transferred my remote database to my local site (I want my local site to mimic the remote site) and when I viewed the site there were no images appearing. The links are relative and I confirmed that the links were correct. So I figured importing the DB may have not been smart. So I redid everything, but this time I had countless PostNuke problems. Before, I simply went through the install process and specified a uername and database and password and it accepted it just fine. This time around, it will absolutely not accept anything unless the DB already exists and the config-inc.php file has the dbname, user, and password that i wish to enter during install. The directions are quite bad about saying what one must do to that file (it talks about authentication modes but I can't see how the modes are specified!).

So what I did was create the DB, username, and password up front before doing the install. And that info had to be in config-inc. Everything seemed ok, but when I go to the admin settings section and click Save Changes I get server not found error on admin.php. Strangely enough though, the changes are reflected!!

So can someone fill in the gaps here? What must one do in config-inc and how do I guarantee that I have root access?

I don't know the answer to your problem, but I do know that you'll probably only have root access if it's your own personal computer (at home) or it's a dedicated server (you pay $100 + a month)

Good luck
