For the life of me, my left-sided brain cannot grasp the concept of PHP and MySQL. Can somebody please, I beg you, tell me how I can insert a forum and add comments to the blog section of my site bokunokoianime?

I've tried doing it with Joomla and Wordpress and I'm really an idiot when it comes to this stuff because I just cannot figure out how to make everything integrate together and play nice with the php and mysql. I'm so clueless that I'm ready to cry. I'm a female and I'll do it too!

I've put too much work into the site and I don't want to lose the contents like I did with my first site (this is the second time around) trying to make things work.

So if you find it in your Web Programming hearts, please help me.

I thank you in advance!

Hi. Not quite sure where your problem lies. Did you manage to set up Joomla and/or Wordpress? Also, how are you dealing with your blog section presently? ie. what are you using to make posts etc?

For a forum, if you don't mind some ads on it and a not-so-nice url, you might want to just get a hosted one - like invisionfree.com. Those are really easy to get running

Nice site you have there btw. Anime banzai

I think you should install Wordpress girl, if you want I put a tutorial on how to install here, I will help you install the forum also give me only a moment.

Girl, install a script as the MSM WordPress and Joomla is very simple, just pay attention in tutorials.
Well, I will give a short explanation ...
Download the latest Wordpress here .
Now, extract the files ... Wordpress is the default folder, you can change the name or make the
upload these files that are inside this folder, for the main directory of your site, but not now, wait a little.
Note: Make a backup of your site, do not want to lose anything, is not it? : P
Go to the area of members, click on your site to manage it (Go to Cpanel)> Backup> generate new fresh backup ... Wait is ready and click:
Make backup Available to Download, make the downloads ... go back>
wipe your account by clicking on Cleanup / Reload Account.
Now, in your Control Panel, create a DataBase, go to> Software / Services> Mysql.
You will see something like this:

Manage MySQL Databases

MySQL databases are required by many web applications including bulletin boards, content management systems, and others. To use MySQL, you need to create database and user, which will be automatically assigned to this database. Click for phpMyAdmin when database is created.

Important: Host for any MySQL database in this account is mysqlx.000webhost.com, do not use localhost!

Create new database and user

MySQL database name: zdarkness_
MySQL User Name: zdarkness_
Password for MySQL User:
Enter password again:

Fill this data as you like, when you finish, you will see a screen like this:

Information

MySQL database has been created. Use these details for your PHP scripts:

= $ Mysql_host "mysqlx.000webhost.com";
$ Mysql_database = "zdarkness_zdarkness";
= $ Mysql_user "zdarkness_zdarkness";
= $ Mysql_password "zdarkness_zdarkness";

It can take about 1 minute until your database and phpMyAdmin will start working.

Save this information.
Open the "wp-config.php" contained in its portfolio wordpress, with any text editor, Notepad or Word and set with its previous information:

/ / MySQL settings ** ** / /
define ( 'DB_NAME', 'zdarkness_zdarkness'); / / The name of the database
define ( 'DB_USER', 'zdarkness_zdarkness'); / / Your MySQL username
define ( 'DB_PASSWORD', 'zdarkness_zdarkness'); / / ... and password
define ( 'DB_HOST', 'mysqlx.000webhost.com'); / / 99% chance you will not need to change this value
define ( 'DB_CHARSET', 'utf8');
define ( 'DB_COLLATE','');
/ / Change SECRET_KEY to a unique phrase. You will not have to remember it later,
/ / Make it so long and complicated. You can visit https: / / www.grc.com / passwords.htm
/ / To get the phrase generated for you, or just make something up.
define ( 'SECRET_KEY', 'put your unique phrase here'); / / Change this to a unique phrase.

"DB_CHARSET
The database character set, normally should not be changed. "
"DB_COLLATE
The database collation should normally be left blank "

Open your favorite FTP program, and sign ... Upload all the files within the folder
Wordpress to where you want, but must be within the public_html.

Run the installation of Wordpress, now.
If you put the files in the index, just click here:
http://bokunokoianime.net84.net/wp-admin/install.php
If put in another folder, such as the default Wordpress
http://bokunokoianime.net84.net/word...in/install.php

In another case, replace wordpress, by the name of the folder in which you upload.

"The following screenshots show how the installation progresses. Notice in the screen, Entering the details, you enter your Weblog title and your e-mail address. Also displayed is a check-box asking if you would like your blog to appear in search engines like Google and Technorati. Leave the box checked if you would like your blog to be visible to everyone, including search engines, and uncheck the box if you want to block search engines, but allow normal visitors. Note all this information can be changed later in your Administration Panels."
