does anyone know how the go daddy databse setting should look ? I managed to set it up once kind of and the details where totally diffrent i cant figure out the host etc and theres all kinds of numbers with and the username which i didnt add in there so im unsure which bit is which Any help be great

I looked at the godaddy db setup that @Trendz85 has. Its a little hard to tell what the Host name should be for the DB. DB name is there, user and password are known. Its just the host name we beleive that is the issue. Can someone look at the Godaddy settings and post what they have so it can be compared. You can change a few values if you wish to hide the real settings. looking more for the format of the settings... This would be appreciated.

Ive manged to install it almost install it Gbakakos im just getting a error now refer to line 68 in config

That's the same error I was getting from the start after the DNs was changed.

yeah it seems strange everyhitng else now works fine jsut that last bit im struggling with haha the battle continues !

Don't worry someone will step in and let us know what should be there based on the godaddy db panel settings.

well ive since found out ive bought the wrong hosting package hahaha

Be sure they put you on a Linux box, put me on windows by default. FYI - moved to Host Gator, easier to deal with, no prob installing Server.

@trendz85. Well that makes some sense now. Was it a windows box or just not the right DB package?

Double post. Seems to happen much more on the new site...

Needs to be LAMP Linux Apache HTTP Server, MySQL, PHP. Thats why you had a problem with the DB. They should be able to switch you quickly. Hell they are just VM's....

well i wanted a package where i can make multiply websites etc and after a brief chat with there support team they advised that a virtual dedicated server would be much better tthe ability to host multiple domains etc etc. I think the main issue here has bee the DNS propogation much later on i could then see the page and run the install etc just still get the line 68 config php error lol

I believe that can be caused by not having the write permissions correct on your DB. There is an instruction in the install guide regarding this. I have found that some FTP programs can, and some cannot change the permissions correctly. The host's control panel is most likely your best bet to ensure it gets changed correctly. It will not default to the correct setting, at least it wasn't with GoDaddy or HostGator.

well i think im gonna need to change my hosting plan before i do any of this again haha

I do think it needs to be a LAMP setup. Meaning Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP. Not sure other DB Work. That was not a MySQL DB. Are you saying they can't give u a lamp server with mysql. I have setup a few of these all of them lamp of course with no issues.

Your DNA was the first issue and that's cleared up. Now it's the type of server that's your problem. Grt a lamp server and I can have it up for. You in 30 mins.

It WILL NOT work on a windows server. Dave tried for days to get an early install attempt of mine to work on a windows box and we couldn't get it to go. Switched to Linux (LAMP stack) and it was done in less than an hour.

It was a linux server !

Did u set the write permissions on the database?

yeah i did that by selecting the bt server folder and then permissions and made all write an executable

Did u set the write permissions on the database?

Disregard. Stupid iPhone.

yeah write and execute

U still on GoDaddy?

yeah im still on

I'll go back through my emails when I was trying to get it to work with them. I think we got it to work before I decided to drop them. I'm not 100% sure it was something other than permissions, but I think it was, and it was something weird. I'll get a look at it today.

im just basically looking for a host where i can install the bt server then also make multiple domains and websites all on the same host i thoguth i got that with this pckage they gave me unlimted websites but that just means sub domains lol

ive taken a look at host gator and they might actually be better to go with for the hosting and web re selling looking at it plus i know a few guys sue them for hosting and could help if needed

I have two domains with them under one account. Much improved over GoDaddy, and cheaper.

yeah im going with them im gonna get there hosting re seller account so i can then make and sell muliple websites and host them. Once i ge tit sorted i may need ur help again Thanks for your patience with a noob = D

Went back through about 50 emails back and forth between David and I. I was incorrect, we never did get it to run right (although some have possibly). We gave up and moved to HostGator, I was up in 23 minutes according to a slightly obnoxious email from me. Good luck.

Crap. Sorry about doubles... again.

yeah its fine had a chat with host gator and there re seller account seems to be the one for me so im gonna go with them i think just sorted it now just need to point my domains to there nameservers and i can try again XD

WOOO HOOO i managed to do it hahaha finally done using host gator thanks alot Gbakakos and wolftim youve boh mega helpful an wouldnt of been able to do it without ur suggestions mucho grasias ! ! !

oh now i cant validate my key hahaha

Ok, go to Buzztouch, not your new Server panel but your original Buzztouch panel. On your main account page find ''Self Hosted Servers'' on left side. Click it. Under the Self Hosted Servers box is the name of your server, whatever you named it. I named mine ''Bad Ass Server''. No, that doesn't matter, just thought it was kinda dumb and a little funny. Anyway, short story long... Click the name of the server even though it doesn't look like a link. Your info will come up probably with some incorrect setting you entered while screwing around with GoMommy. Hit modify and change whatever is wrong. That should do it... I hope. Tim

and.... just realized I forgot the last step. After modifying the settings, copy the API key and put it in your Server panel under Admin --> Settings.

i still cant get the key to validate and now i moved the folder by accident my login screens really messed up its all white and broken i cant believe it its doing my nut right in !

Ok Guys id like to thanks you all for helping Gbakakakos Wolftim And Bodacious Media for helping finally get my server not only up and running but customized too So BIG THANKS TO ALL 3 Cheers Chris www.cloud-9-creations/cloud9apps/
