Hello.
I have installed geeklog, upgraded version and changed the theme with success.
now, before i attempt to integrate forum, i want to back up DB. (yes for a whole 2 users.. me and 1 other person. (But I want this to work for the future users).
i can't back up with mySQLdump (cant get path to work after consulting with hosting company), so i downloaded the plugin (phpdump) to back up without mySQLdump.
i had to tweak a setting in the install.php (for the new plugin) to find lib-common.php (i added '../' because i am a directory too 'deep'.
here is the question. how do i log in as a root user to run the install??
check the log below:
Sun Sep 11 10:36:24 2005 - Someone has tried to illegally access the phpdump install/uninstall page. User id: , Username: , IP: 65.11.322.250
the instructions say to "log in to your Geeklog as a root user and run install.php in your admin/plugins/phpdump directory".
ya lost me there!! i loggged into geeklog website as root user, but have not found the addition under plugins.
so i tried going via my hosting service into the file manager and fromlooking at the error above, i amnot logged in a the root user.
this is probably so simple, but my experience with php is what i have decribed above, the install (and upgrade) + installing the theme.
throw me a bone, please.
