I am looking to intall rss media grabber from phppod on my site where host at Hosgator..I got this error after push the install button.. I am sure I follow all their correct step but still can't install the script.. The domain is licensed.. Just want to know if here have rss media grabber expert.. Please advice..I don't want to contact phppod because their support reply very slow.. Too slow.. Many thanks for advice.
Well, it sounds like the script cannot communicate with the database. So, the first thing i would check is that your mysql user/database name / pass is correct in the config file of this script
Yes.. I am sure its correct.. Now i will try to install on another server for testing..Still uploading the script..
Well, I kinda doubt it's a problem with the script. The error definitely means there's a problem with connecting to the database. Here are some thoughts based on that: a) Check that the following are correct: host, mysql user, mysql db name, mysql password b) Make sure the database is already created and mysql user assigned to it c) Go through the instructions to make sure everything is correct: path info, chmod permissions, etc EDIT: Actually, I just looked at the error message again and it says "table categories already exists" This suggests that there are tables already in this database. If this database is not shared with another script, I would launch phpmyadmin and delete all tables, and run the install again
Well, also confirm that HG allows running such scripts. Previously one of my clients had RSS related scripts deactivated due to their high resource consuming nature.
yuo say: "If this database is not shared with another script, I would launch phpmyadmin and delete all tables, and run the install again" but its better to make another mysql database insteat of delete tables.
