TIA to any helpers!

So I am tinkerer. I have self taught myself all the web and computer stuff i know, its just fun to learn. So I decided I was going to run a webserver from home just for the hell of it. I got apache working with PHP working with SQL on a windowsxp pro box. No problems on my home network. I installed PostNuke, no problems there. I went to work to see what came up. I could see my test pages for PHP and SQL, both worked. I can see index.php occasionally. Sometimes its blank, sometimes it gives "Fatal error: Call to undefined function: adonewconnection() in c:\xxxxxxx\includes\pnAPI.php on line 488" and sometimes it just says page cannot be displayed. At first I thought it could be router related, but i don't see how considering i can see it sometimes.

I only have this problem with PostNuke. When I move my PHP and SQL test files into another folder and access them they are there, show up every time and work.

Any ideas? I have spent about 2 days working on this from looking up connection timeout limits and # of connections etc. I looked through SQL (at first I had an issue with permissions, but enough reading took care of that, and learing to delete my.ini when i reinstalled mysql.)I checked over all my apache settings, but those do not seem to be the problem since i can see the test pages and the successfully use mysql and PHP.

Thanks to anyone that can figure out what I am trying to say and may have some insight.

me again.

Now I can't see anything post nuke, but my test pages work.

this kind of post must really bug the PN team !
by all accounts you have bad problem but give nothing to help the PN team or other members give you assistance.
Now a URL for us to look at would be a help? also some installations that i have done need the full URL to open i.e http://your-ip-address/postnuke/html/index.php
also i have known people install into the apache folder and not into the www or htdocs folder this wont work either,
so come back witha URL and give us more details of how you installed please

Same problem here

Sorry i post a question 3 page ago ...but this is the same problem

Here's my URL http://82.161.20.126/Postnuke/html/index.php

Your problem appears to be related with the information you supplied for the database connection.

Make sure your database information for config.php is accurate.

Glad to help, any way I can.

I have this problem too. PN worked fine for months, then suddenly it just didnt. www.gamesnetuk.co.uk/index.php doesnt work, "Cannot find server" But the server is UP(www.gamesnetuk.co.uk), and index.php is there AND i havent made any changes. I have reuploaded, reinstalled, but cannot find a problem.

I am having the same issue, and I have my own server, and have successfully installed PHPNUKE in 15 minutes. This is NOT new to me, and the only reason I wanted this flavour of NUKE is because of PHPGEDVIEW. I wanted the geneology module, and I don't want to hack the PostNuke mod in to PHPNUKE.

My config: [RH]
httpd-2.0.40-11.9
mysql-server-3.23.58-1.80
PHP-4.2.2-8.0.8
PHP-mysql-4.2.2-8.0.8

It doesn't seem to matter if I use the install script or doing it in a shell, either way, I end up with the dreaded "Problem in DB Connection" screen.

I use the install script, and it fails with this at the admin user creation step:
nuke_group_membership updated.
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: update_config_php() in /var/www/html/install.php on line 153

Sooo...I load up my favourite editor [VIM] and WOW there are alot of ^M windows crappola, so I gotta run


That doesn't work...hmmm, it trashes the files...oh well.

So I follow the instructions on the install script...AGAIN. This time, I make sure to check the "Site is for intranet or other local (non-internet) use" box, since I am running this on localhost...and instead of using a user I created in my Webmin MySQL admin area, I use root...eww:

Database Host localhost
Database Username root
Database Password ·····
Database Name nuke
Table Prefix (for Table Sharing) nuke
Database Type mysql
Database Table Type myisam
Site is for intranet or other local (non-internet) use Yes

All tables created, but still bombs when I try to add the admin user.

So this time I do this:

Database Host localhost
Database Username root
Database Password ·····
Database Name nuke
Table Prefix (for Table Sharing) nuke
Database Type mysql
Database Table Type innodb
Site is for intranet or other local (non-internet) use Yes

Still bombs. But now I notice at the top of the screen:
Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING in /var/www/html/install/modify_config.php on line 119

This bites. I think I'll go back to PHPNUKE.
