cPanel help?

Oracle · 18 Jan 2006 at 10:22

Hi all, I use cPanel (it came as part of my hosting package a while ago).

I'm uploading vBulletin to it, but I can't seem to upload a whole folder (which is what vbulletin requires me to do). I only seem to be able to upload individual files!

Can anyone help!?

Thanks

Yes, I'm uploading using the filemanager within cPanel. I guess i'll need to wait for my domain to point to my host before I can FTP using smart FTP or something (or even dare I say it IEs FTP capability!)

Its a shared IP address!? Does that matter!?

Hmm, for some reason ftp://mysite.co.uk windows says it cannot access the site (no login box appears or anything!)

Right, i've uploaded the vBulletin folders and have got to the install page via www.mysite.co.uk/install/install.php

Now, I can get to the stage 2 (connecting to the database), but with the config.php file left as 'localhost', I get the following error:

Code:

Attempting to attach to database

Connect failed: unexpected error from the database.

Error number: 1044

Error description: Access denied for user: '******@localhost' to database '*****'

Please ensure that the database and server is correctly configured and try again.

Now, I'm using a host called TSOHOST, and use cPanel within this hosting package. I have set up a MySQL database and chosen my database name, username and password. These are duplicated within the config.php, so I'm guessing i've done it right.

BUT, if I alter the servername from 'localhost' to something like 'TSOHOST', i get the following error at Stage 2

Code:

Attempting to attach to database

Error description: mysql_connect(): Unknown MySQL Server Host 'tsohost' (1) /home/*****/public_html/includes/class_core.php on line 279

The database has failed to connect because you do not have permission to connect to the server. Please confirm the values entered in the 'includes/config.php' file.

However, looking in my MySQL area of cPanel, there is a section under the choosing of passwords and users, etc that says 'Access Hosts' = 'localhost' - So, i'm really quite confused!

Can anyone help?

Thanks
