Installing Advanced Guestbook

I am a newbie with this stuff. I have gotten up to the point of using the script. 'install.php'

I get the following error:

Database Error

MySQL Error : Database Error
Error Number: 1050 Table 'book_auth' already exists

The site I am on is not familiar with Advanced Guestbook and they have directed me back here. I spent the last 24 hours getting nowhere with this program...

HELP please,

Kuczek

Then you have already created the tables. But http://www.kathykuczek.com/guestbook/ is saying

1044 Access denied for user 'kathykuc_lynn'@'localhost' to database 'guestbook'

So you need to check the permissions for the database account you are using.

The permissions is set for All but it gave me this error message.

Database Error

This is the last email I had from my hosting site:

Should I start over and try Lazarus ?

The guestbook is already installed on your site - http://www.kathykuczek.com/guestbook/

You need to edit the base_url found in config.inc.php to point to http://www.kathykuczek.com/guestbook/ but other than that you are set to go.

towards the bottom of config.inc.php right?

$DB_CLASS = "mysql.class.php";
$TEC_MAIL = "kathykuczek.com";
$GB_UPLOAD = "public";
$GB_TMP = "tmp";

if ($GB_PG["base_url"] == "http://www.kathykuczek.com/guestbook/")

So I do that and save it .... then how do I see the guestbook?

Never mind ... I see it .... after all this time.

Thanks for your help.

No that's not right.

That bit should be

if ($GB_PG["base_url"] == "")

The line you need to change looks like

$GB_PG["base_url"] = "";

Change it to

$GB_PG["base_url"] = "http://www.kathykuczek.com/guestbook/";

OK - Thanks

Hello,

I am also having problems getting to the admin area. I keep getting this error:

Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Access denied for user 'babey17'@'localhost' (using password: YES) in /home/babey17/public_html/guestbook/lib/mysql.class.php on line 30

I took some advice from this post http://proxy2.de/forum/viewtopic/7415/Help-with-Install-of-Advance-Guestbook.html and changed the following in the config file:

$GB_DB = array();
$GB_DB["dbName"] = "guestbook";
$GB_DB["host"] = "localhost";
$GB_DB["user"] = "babey17";
$GB_DB["pass"] = "xxxxxxx";

$GB_PG["base_url"] = "http://www.fansofleann.com/guestbook"; /* e.g http://www.yourdomain.com/guestbook */

$DB_CLASS = "mysql.class.php";
$TEC_MAIL = "xxxxxxx@gmail.com";
$GB_UPLOAD = "public";
$GB_TMP = "tmp";

if ($GB_PG["base_url"] == "http://www.fansofleann.com/guestbook/")

I made my password and email private while I posted the code.

Am I missing something? I checked my Manage User Privileges and it has a check next to ALL PRIVILEGES. Hope someone can help.

Thanks,

Crystal
