Hello, i'm new and I have a question:

On my router i've opened port 80 and port 8080,
and i've installed Apache and MySQL-NT. On a site
i've downloaded the Criminals-script (online game). It's
a .php script but I don't know how to install the script
correctly. When i've put some codes in the database it says
there is a error with $cfg['Servers'][$1]["pmadb']. When I go to
my site (www.snakesolid.zyns.com/criminals/ it says there is still
an error in the database, but I don't know where to put the .php files.
Cause I tried to put them in my /www directory of apache, but then it
still says the error. I just don't know where to put which file and where
to install what in my database. It's all DNS and it's realy difficult. Can
someone help me to make my database correct. To give me a example?

I want to thank you guys.......

The Apache server has made this maps:

Mysql
www
php
apache


maybe you need this ?

And something else (yeah sorry) but the Mysql I use is v.1.4

Howdy! Umm... let me try to clarify some things...

Apache is a web server application (httpd) and serves web pages.
MySQL is a database that allows you to store/manipulate data.
PHP is scripting middleware that can be used to interact between the two.

In a typical Apache/MySQL/PHP (AMP) set up, you would put your .php files in the Apache root directory with other web pages and access them through a web browser. PHP does not necessarily come with Apache and may need to be installed or activated. You can test this by making a text file called something like "test.php" and putting the following in it...

<? phpinfo(); ?>

If you visit your site, (http://localhost/test.php or whatever) and you see a PHP report of your configuration, then PHP is installed and working properly. If you see just the <? phpinfo(); ?> code or something else, then PHP is not installed.

By writing PHP code with HTML, you can write code to perform actions, including to read or write data to your MySQL databases. I would recommend also looking into phpMyAdmin as a helpful MySQL management tool.

The error you seem to be getting seems to be some kind of configuration error. If so, you'll have to fix it somehow... maybe changing the configuration line to whatever it's supposed to be or maybe changing something to make the configuration true.

Good luck!

thanks,

I already got AMP installed (so when I make the test file it works) but
I just need to configure my database (like you say) but that might take some
time. I want to say thanks.

Oh, by the way, when I goto http://localhost/phpmyadmin/ it don't start index.php automaticly, do you know how to make it start automaticly?

which configuration file do i need to edit? do you know ?

Please, can someone help me?
