I’m trying to install e107 CMS on a new website but after several tries I’m not able to connect the SQL Database to succeed with the installation.
I’ve created the DB in my cPanel and I try to connect with :
SQL Server : localhost (even tried with 127.0.0.1)
DB Username : idxxxxxxx_lotodydakt
DB pwd : mypassword (even changed it 3 or 4 times without success)
DB name : idxxxxxxx_lotodydakt
Nothing seems to work and I don’t know where I have to look as I was already user of 000webhost.com free hosting for several years and it’s the first time I’m experiencing the new version which seems to have lot of issues…
If anyone knows where I’m wrong, please a hand should be appreciated !
Thanks.
Even 12 hours later, I got always same message and I’m not able to connect to the database… I also try changing the PHP version from 5.4 to 7.1 but no way.
Install.php file is over 2.000 lines… I don’t know exactly which part should be interesting for you (I’m not very keen at using and reading php)…
This is the begining (don’t know if it helps!) :
// minimal software version
define(‘MIN_PHP_VERSION’, ‘5.4’);
define(‘MIN_MYSQL_VERSION’, ‘4.1.2’);
define(‘MAKE_INSTALL_LOG’, true);
// ensure CHARSET is UTF-8 if used
//define('CHARSET', 'utf-8');
/* Default Options and Paths for Installer */
$MySQLprefix = 'e107_';
$HANDLERS_DIRECTORY = "e107_handlers/"; // needed for e107 class init
header('Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8');
define("e107_INIT", TRUE);
require_once("e107_admin/ver.php");
define("e_VERSION", $e107info['e107_version']);
/*define("e_UC_PUBLIC", 0);
define("e_UC_MAINADMIN", 250);
define("e_UC_READONLY", 251);
define("e_UC_GUEST", 252);
define("e_UC_MEMBER", 253);
define("e_UC_ADMIN", 254);
define("e_UC_NOBODY", 255);*/
define("E107_INSTALL",true);
if($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'] != "debug")
{
error_reporting(0); // suppress all errors unless debugging.
}
else
{
error_reporting(E_ALL);
}
if($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'] == 'clear')
{
unset($_SESSION);
}
//error_reporting(E_ALL);
function e107_ini_set($var, $value)
{
if (function_exists('ini_set'))
{
ini_set($var, $value);
}
}
// setup some php options
e107_ini_set('magic_quotes_runtime', 0);
e107_ini_set('magic_quotes_sybase', 0);
e107_ini_set('arg_separator.output', '&');
e107_ini_set('session.use_only_cookies', 1);
e107_ini_set('session.use_trans_sid', 0);
if (function_exists('date_default_timezone_set'))
{
date_default_timezone_set('UTC');
}
define('MAGIC_QUOTES_GPC', (ini_get('magic_quotes_gpc') ? true : false));
$php_version = phpversion();
if(version_compare($php_version, MIN_PHP_VERSION, "<"))
{
die_fatal_error('A minimum version of PHP '.MIN_PHP_VERSION.' is required'); // no LAN DEF translation accepted by lower versions <5.3
}
// Ensure that '.' is the first part of the include path
$inc_path = explode(PATH_SEPARATOR, ini_get('include_path'));
if($inc_path[0] != ".")
{
array_unshift($inc_path, ".");
$inc_path = implode(PATH_SEPARATOR, $inc_path);
e107_ini_set("include_path", $inc_path);
}
unset($inc_path);
if(!function_exists("mysql_connect") && !defined('PDO::ATTR_DRIVER_NAME'))
{
die_fatal_error("e107 requires PHP to be installed or compiled with PDO or the MySQL extension to work correctly, please see the MySQL manual for more information.");
}
And Config.php is still empty until installation haven’t been succeed I guess !
I give up !
I just would like to say that misses me the old version of 000webhost.com with whom I never had any problems… and where there was a real support…
