error selecting database at step three of instalation. Please help! Thanks, Michael

Does the database exist? Are your database settings in config.php correct? bye, Dirk

Hi, Thanks for your help. Here are my settings: Michael -----+ $_DB_dbms = 'mysql'; // Do not change (currently, only MySQL is supported) $_DB_host = 'db**.pair.com'; $_DB_name = 'gl'; // Yes, your DB must exist before running the installer! $_DB_user = '******l_6'; $_DB_pass = '*******'; $_DB_table_prefix = 'gl_'; // e.g. 'gl_' // optional settings for making database backups from within Geeklog $_DB_mysqldump_path = '/usr/local/bin/mysqldump'; // path to mysqldump binary e.g. /usr/bin/mysqldump $_CONF['allow_mysqldump'] = 1; // 1 = on, 0 = off // +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ // | SERVER SETTINGS | // | | // | All paths must have a trailing slash ('/'). If you're on Windows, they | // | must also start with a drive letter (e.g. 'C:/'). | // | The 'path' value signifies where the config.php (this file) resides | // +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ $_CONF['path'] = '/usr/www/users/*****/greekads/gl/'; // C:/inetpub/wwwroot/geeklog/ //You only need to change this if you moved or renamed the public_html // directory. In that case, you should specify the complete path to the // directory like this: $_CONF['path_html'] = '/usr/www/users/******/greekads/gl/public_html/'; $_CONF['path_html'] = $_CONF['path'] . 'public_html/'; // you shouldn't need to edit the following $_CONF['path_system'] = $_CONF['path'] . 'system/'; $_CONF['path_log'] = $_CONF['path'] . 'logs/'; $_CONF['path_language'] = $_CONF['path'] . 'language/'; $_CONF['rdf_file'] = $_CONF['path_html'] . 'backend/geeklog.rdf'; $_CONF['backup_path'] = $_CONF['path'] . 'backups/'; // +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ // | SITE SETTINGS | // | | // | These settings help define your Geeklog site. | // +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ // make sure this is the correct URL to your site (no trailing slash) $_CONF['site_url'] = 'http://www.greekads.com/gl/public_html'; $_CONF['site_name'] = 'greekads.com'; $_CONF['site_slogan'] = 'A! Ellada...Ah! Greece..'; $_CONF['*******@yahoo.com'] = 'admin@example.com'; $_CONF['theme'] = 'XSilver'; // default theme // Some hosting services have a preconfigured admin directory. In that case, // you need to rename Geeklog's admin directory to something like "myadmin" // and change the following URL as well. Leave as is until you experience any // problems accessing Geeklog's admin menu. $_CONF['site_admin_url'] = $_CONF['site_url'] . '/admin'; // you shouldn't need to edit the following $_CONF['layout_url'] = $_CONF['site_url'] . '/layout/' . $_CONF['theme']; $_CONF['path_themes'] = $_CONF['path_html'] . 'layout/'; $_CONF['path_layout'] = $_CONF['path_themes'] . $_CONF['theme'] .'/'; //

I got the solution! Thanks to my IP. Hope this helps, Michael -----+ $_DB_dbms = 'mysql'; // Do not change (currently, only MySQL is supported) $_DB_host = '*****r.com'; $_DB_name = '******l_gl'; // Yes, your DB must exist before running the installer! $_DB_user = '******l_6'; $_DB_pass = '*******'; $_DB_table_prefix = 'gl_*******l_gl'; // e.g. 'gl_' //
