Installation, Configuration, & Upgrades  :: 
No Database Connection
 Top

  • I am brand new to PN, so forgive me if this is too simplistic. I have installed PostNuke on my hosting service. I created my database name, and PostNuke created 67 tables for me. I deleted index.html. When I type in my domain name, I get a message in bold print..."Problem with Database Connection". I can't access my admin page or anything. Can someone provide assistance?
  • You ran install.php?
  • Yes. The installation created the tables for me, but not the database.
  • It shoudln't have, but to create the tables, it would have needed the correct connection info, which should have been written, by install.php, to your config.php file.
  • I created a new database in MySQL server and supplied the database information during the install. In phpMyAdmin, my database appears with 67 tables in it.

    I deleted index.html.


    You mean you deleted "install.php", correct?
  • another issue can be in your config.php
    try changing
    $pnconfig['encoded'] = '1';
    to
    $pnconfig['encoded'] = '0';
    when it is already 0 the problem is something else
  • I deleted the previous install and database. Reinstalled and it worked. I don't know why. Anyway...I am PN addicted already.
