That was it thanks !

Hi

I have been trying to set up the guestbook on my linux pc . But I allways get this message
while trying to connect....

You don't have permission to access the requested object. It is either read-protected or not readable by the server.

iI have set this up on my web site hosting server which runs apache php mysql
It works fine. But I cant do it here locally !!!! !!

I have checked permissions / my sql users / the pass word / db name / and host

Is localhost ok for host ?? < i also tried the machines IP >>
it looks like index.php refuses to read /admin/config.inc.php

Strange thing if i edit this line in index.php

include_once $include_path."/admin/config.inc.php";
to
include_once $include_path."/anythingdirectory/config.inc.php";

I GET THE SAME MESSAGE AGAIN
there should be a php error message NO

can somebody understand what is happening or what isnt happening

thanks
phil

Hey thanks for the tip was looking myself

I had a look
my guestbook name is correct gb22
my host name localhost
user phil
pass abc123

this user exists in the mysql user table and has all priviliges

I tried putting in the IP of this machine which is part off my lan to no avail
I can use samba and connect to this machine via a winx pc

so all else is running !!
but aparently not
ill keep on looking just an other barrier to reach over

regards phil

just instal phpmyadmin on your computer
then you can try the GB locally

Hello

you should check if perl is installed on your server.
I dont know about NT
I think windows2000 server has it as well as apache

Hello this may seem strange but i have had this guest book running fine using windows and php triads to set it up
It also runs fine on my providers server
here
www.billderaime.com/guestbook/

Now I have taken the step to Linux and am coming really unstuck.
Apache PHP and Mysql is all running fine as well as phpmyadmin.
the initial message I get trying to connect is this < locally>
*********************************************
Access forbidden!

You don't have permission to access the requested object. It is either read-protected or not readable by the server.
************************************************
Ok I check the files and directories and they are all chmode 777
the config.inc.php file has the correct settings and the data base gb22 is up ok
< i have created a user with all priviliges>

the more i play with it the more error messages I get

Is there something extra I have to do that wasnt necessary in windows / phptriads ?

thanks for your help
