prehacked phpbb install on iweb

I'm having problems installing a prehacked version of phpbb on my site (hosted by iweb). I have uploaded all the files, and created the database, but whenever i try to install i get the following error:

Code:

Warning: mysql_error(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in /home/swansea/public_html/board/db/mysql4.php on line 330



Warning: mysql_errno(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in /home/swansea/public_html/board/db/mysql4.php on line 331

phpBB : Critical Error



Could not connect to the database

could someone point please tell me what i am doing wrong! i am sure it is something really obvious.....

Maybe the db name is wrong or the password?
You're better of asking on I-Web's forum:

Or you've not created the database?

Re: prehacked phpbb install on iweb

Could you post the contents of mysql14.php [around lines 320 to 340].

definately the right name and password, and created too. I hadn't heard of i-webs forums before so i might ask there as well

the code as requested is:

Code:

                if ( $query_id )

                {

                        unset($this->row[$query_id]);

                        unset($this->rowset[$query_id]);



                        mysql_free_result($query_id);



                        return true;

                }

                else

                {

                        return false;

                }

        }



        function sql_error()

        {

                $result['message'] = mysql_error($this->db_connect_id);

                $result['code'] = mysql_errno($this->db_connect_id);



                return $result;

        }



} // class sql_db



} // if ... define



?>

Re: prehacked phpbb install on iweb

If you pm me the relevent details i will have a look and see what i can do although i have a feeling it is all down to what is in the config.php

Also make sure that the file attributes for config.php are set to 666 otherwise the installation script will not allow it to be written to with all the details required to access the database.

Well whatever version you are using it is fuly operational now i think the problem was that when entering the database detail a lot of people forget to enter the prefix of the database as example

yoursite_databasename
yoursite_databaseusername
password
As far as fullymodded goes this has in excess of 330 mods installed on it
