I conversed with the webmaster of te site a bit and I’m entering the correct info, so he thinks. Database Server: localhost Database User: trinka_trinka Database Password: (is there one? is it the mysql user password?) Database Name: trinka_frog mysql ver 5.somthing… php ver 5.xx (i beleive?)

You certainly will need a database user name and password; it looks like you have to create these when you set up the database, so those values should be known to you! Did you remember to grant “privileges” to the “user” you created? It looks like sqweebs runs a three-stage db setup. Also, it seems sqweebs.com doesn’t like filenames ending in “.tmpl”, so there’s an adjustment to be made there, too, if you don’t have a <root>/install/config.tmpl file. Let us know how it goes!

Mar 15, 2009 08:33 David 1493 posts	your database server is not localhost. Strangely enough … it is! Just set up Frog on sqweebs.com for a laugh. It could be easier. :/

Mar 15, 2009 10:26 ricks 486 posts	Yeah that is strange. Well if trinka’s just testing Frog out, I guess sqweeb is fine. Then trinka, you’re problem might be that you didn’t specify the database password, which is the mysql password.

Mar 15, 2009 19:25 ricks 486 posts	By the way, I apologize for being presumptuous.

Mar 16, 2009 04:19 oweb 125 posts	Hi, I created a sqweeb account… It’s not possible to have a good frog install (you must create db structure and add datas with phpmyadmin)… example .htaccess files are not allowed localhost is the mysql server name…

Mar 16, 2009 04:57 David 1493 posts	They don’t allow .htaccess, and they don’t allow “.tmpl” or “.template” files, either. You can change the name of install/config.tmpl to install/config.txt, and make an adjustment in the install/index.php file, at line 42, changing: `$config_tmpl = new Template('config.tmpl');` to: `$config_tmpl = new Template('config.txt');` and Frog will install (that’s 0.9.4, anyway). Not the most brilliant free hosting setup, but it can work!
