You need to get the right info from your host - nothing we can do to help you there.

[AlaaFarah]

but these are the info that lycos gives.....

Did you enter a password? The error message said a password wasn't used.

[AlaaFarah]

Yes I did... first I tried with the regestration pass.
after that I tried the FTP pass. And inte end I tried without pass. and it did not go well....

[Tranz]

The database password could be different from registration or ftp password. You need to ask your webhost what it is.

[AlaaFarah]

How can I ask him? It is a free site...

can you help me???!!!!

[AlaaFarah]

but these are the same parameters that I tried....

[Nibbler]

In which case - you get what you pay for. There is a thread on the boards about free webhosts that work with coppermine, try one of those.

[AlaaFarah]

WHAT DO YOU MEAN (of Those)?!!!!!!!!!

[Tranz]

Could you please specify which part you don't understand?

aargh

[AlaaFarah]

No One Can Help Me???!!!

I did what I should do but it did not work....

[AlaaFarah]

Yes... I did it.. to all who have the same pronlem, you should also, after uploading the files, you should activate PHP4U
by  going to http://www.tripod.lycos.co.uk/build/php4u/

Why dont u try it on another free web host.

http://www.dotgeek.org is one of the free web host on which cpg runs absolutely fine. Also there wont be any advertisements on your website if u host it on dotgeek.org  You will find that dotgeek is far better than lycos.

I have one working installation of cpg at http://abbasali.dotgeek.org/cpg/

for DB password on lycos merely enter "one space" for the password where scripts designed by simpletons "require" a password.  Most free hosts have no password set for the DB username.  You'd think scripts would allow for this... with at least a check box acknoledging a null password.

oh well

good luck and God bless

Coppermine works fine if you have no password, just leave the box empty.
