Hello, I downloaded PHPOpenChat-2.3.4.zip and uploaded the chat folder to my webserver. Then I read in the /chat/INSTALL page that I should give Writer permissions to: <!--StartFragment-->* /your/path/to/<phpopenchat-2.x.x>/includes/defaults_inc.php and to * /your/path/to/<phpopenchat-2.x.x>/html/.htaccess I found defaults_inc.php and gave write permissions, but I did not find .htaccess. What shall I do? Shall I create a .htaccess file and should be in it? Then, I went to the installation page /chat/html/admin/install.php and filled out the form: In front of Username, password, databasehost I wrote the data given to me by the webhost, but when I clicked on enter I had this message: "error connecting to the database" and I could not go anyfurther. I don't know if this is linked to the fact that I don't have an .htaccess file or to another problem... Could you help me? (I tried looking at the archives, but I could not open their page). Thank you. Anne |
