When you editted the file you may of forgot to put in a ; at the end of a line....

e.g. $POLLDB["dbName"] = "advpoll_mysql";

Auron

For host you should leave it as localhost as that is the default for most servers. This is so it uses the local server for the database.

Also do not make your database name too long, as this can sometimes be a problem people with long db names tend to have problems where as people with short ones do not.

Also the database is created when the install script is run so don't create before hand otherwise it won't work. Another option is to make sure that your host id localhost and not something else, this can only be found out by asking YOUR hosting company. Also check you username and password.

You PM has been replyed.

Extremely common mistake.

Auron

It means the script ONLY ALLOWS CERTAIN FILE TYPES TO BE UPLOADED.

Eg. .gif. jpg .jpeg .png .bmp etc...

Auron

Try asking your hosting providers?

Your supposed to download it.
Open config.inc.php in note pad or whatever and edit some bits.
Then upload it and run install.php from the browser.
The config file is just that. Is stores some configuration variables.

chmod can be done with your FTP program usually under chmod (no surprise there!) or under permissions.

Well actually I did help them. But it would save a lot of time if people used the forums search function.
I would also like to point out I didn't write the script and all the help I provide is of my own free will so I can stop without a care to any newbie's!

Auron

Read the guides located in my sig. download and read both of them.
If any problems occur leave a message at my forums - in my sig again or here.

Auron

When you say open it, do you mean after you downloaded it?
Coz it should have a load of stuff in it and a few bits to fill in.
