Hello. I was trying to get clean urls for my site: www.chrischudleigh.com so i was following the threads about altering the htaccess and the defaults.php files. Nothing i tried worked so i tried putting the original files back and now i get this message "Database is not installed."
Am a bit stuck. Would love some help because it took me ages to get to this point! Thanks
do you still have the ndxz-studio/config/config.php file?
and, have you worked on your site for a while or were you just starting?
I am not that far into any major customisation. I have installed the Horizontal layout, then added some code in the pre and post nav sections to include social network buttons. Also i changed fonts/ colours in the style.css
i am using cyberduck and when checking the files there is no ndxz-studio/config/config.php file however i think i have all the original content in a folder on my harddrive somewhere.
my problems only started when i began to edit the htaccess and the defaults.php files.
You deleted your config.php file - you need to restore that file or manually recreate it (you can use the config.example.php as a template for that).
Thanks Vaska, i've uploaded the config folder (that contains the config.example.php file) back into the ndxz-studio folder however i still get the same message. When you say 'restore the file' what steps should i take? Should i open up the file in cssedit? then if so what should i be doing to the file?
Sorry got myself a little out of my depths here! ...But trying to learn
Do you still have the database connection info that you used to setup Indexhibit in the first place?
i can access information about my database on my host site which is zymichost (http://zymic.com/)
pretty sure that's all the information i used when i initially installed indexhibit
Just look at the config.example.php file and replicate it as a config.php file - then add your database connection info back. See what happens next...
You don't need to change the last line (mysql). And of course, you need to rename the file to config.php ;)
literally i can't thank you enough!! site is back up and running. www.chrischudleigh.com (if you want to check it out. i would never have figured that out without your help, so thanks again!
...still have messy urls but will get reading and see if i can figure it out.
This thread has been closed, thank you.
