Hi, I'm trying to install an imageboard on my website, specifically Kusaba X 0.9 (http://kusabax.org (http://kusabax.org/)). I'll be using this thread to document my experiences, and hopefully they will be useful for anyone else trying to do the same.
Just so you know where I'm coming from, I'm a complete noob at php and MySQL and I'm mostly doing this as a learning exercise. I'll definitely run into trouble so please jump in if you can help or have any comments.
Copying the Files
After downloading the files from kusabax.org (http://kusabax.org/) and copying them to a fresh new directory in my account, I look up the installation instructions. I'm supposed to move three files: install.php, install-mysql.php, and kusaba_freshinstall.mysql.sql to the root directory of my imageboard, and then run both installs.
Setting up the Database
This is where I run into my first problem- I get the following error:
SQL database connection error: Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)
Fortunately I found a reference in another thread to a tutorial on setting up MySQL databases: Getting your script to connect to a database (http://www.hostmonsterforum.com/showthread.php?t=2355)
...so I'm going to give that a shot.
OMG it actually works :D
That wasn't hard at all! I was anticipating much more difficulty... Now I just have to tweak it to make it look the way I want.
Please post if you're interested in this type of install and are having trouble, and we'll try to figure it out together.
