I'm not sure how to complete the 7th step in the installation process. I'm sure it's simple I just haven't figured it out yet. Thank you http://www.domain.com/comments/installer/

Hi,

Did you replace domain.com with the domain name of your site?

So it should be http://www.sitename.com/comments/installer/

[minnie88]

Yes I did when I first tried the installer before. It says page not found

thank you for the quick response

[Steven]

Okay. It might be that there was a problem when you uploaded the files.

Can you check using your FTP programme (e.g. FileZilla) that the /comments/installer/ folder exists.

[minnie88]

Yes it is in there I'm using Dreamweaver if that helps sorry for the late response. I deleted the file than uploaded it again and it still doesn't work (I'm also very new to this)

Thanks again

[Steven]

It seems to be an issue with your server. Are you able to speak to your host about it?

[minnie88]

I fixed what needed to be fixed (I think) but know I'm getting a sorry there is a database connection error what could that mean? I linked the page

Thanks Again for your help

[minnie88]

fixed everything I'm at the installation page thanks so much the only problem now is how do I disable magic quotes?

[Steven]

Hi,

I noticed that you have uploaded it to:

domain.com/commentics/comments/

instead of:

domain.com/comments/

It should still work. But you will need to go to Settings -> System and correct the URL to your /comments/ folder.

About disabling Magic Quotes, if you have access to your php.ini file, make sure that these three are set to off:

magic_quotes_gpc = Off
magic_quotes_runtime = Off
magic_quotes_sybase = Off

Alternatively you can try adding this to your site's .htaccess file:

php_flag magic_quotes_gpc Off
