<P><FONT SIZE=2>It's hard to tell how far you've got in the process. The options are<BR>
<BR>
1) You've not started the install and you need to point your web browser at the folder called setup and start the process there.<BR>
<BR>
By the look of the error messages, you need to point your browser at <A HREF="http://your_url/setup/">http://your_url/setup/</A> then you should see the screens that are in the installation guide.<BR>
<BR>
2) You didn't set the root folder of the install to be writable to so the database.php file wasn't created.<BR>
<BR>
If 2 is the case, you might find a file in the setup folder called database.php, which might be the one you need to use, but check the contents of the file are the ones you entered.<BR>
<BR>
Hope this helps<BR>

Subject: [Xerte] Uploading xerte to a server<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
Hi,<BR>
I really like xerte when I looked at in the sandpit. I have a webspace, where I host a wordpress blog and a moodle course. I am no expert, but I can, generally speaking, upload things like this to my webserver and make use of them. I am trying to do this with xerte but cannot - does it work in the same way as these other things? The instructions are very difficult to follow. I have been trying to follow Pat Lockley's installation guidelines, but cannot really understand them. So far I get this message after installation on the webpage:<BR>
<BR>
Warning: include(database.php) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home2/englisl5/public_html/xerte/config.php on line 30<BR>
<BR>
Warning: include() [function.include]: Failed opening 'database.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/lib64/php:/usr/lib/php') in /home2/englisl5/public_html/xerte/config.php on line 30<BR>
<BR>
Warning: mysql_select_db() [function.mysql-select-db]: Access denied for user 'englisl5'@'localhost' (using password: NO) in /home2/englisl5/public_html/xerte/config.php on line 34<BR>
<BR>
Warning: mysql_select_db() [function.mysql-select-db]: A link to the server could not be established in /home2/englisl5/public_html/xerte/config.php on line 3<BR>
<BR>
Any tips?<BR>
Thanks for a great tool.<BR>
