Please help me. How can I do that? I am really dumb with this stuff, and after adding stuff all day to my website my brain is fried.
--------------- Added [DATE]1347149335[/DATE] at [TIME]1347149335[/TIME] --------------- I don't know where my vbulletin.zip file is. I do have another config.php file, but for my other site..... Could I use that? --------------- Added [DATE]1347149396[/DATE] at [TIME]1347149396[/TIME] --------------- Is it WordPad? All I did was "View/Edit" and I added the "1" for my userid, then I saved it on my desktop. Then I dragged it back over the config.php file in my ftp...... Did I do something wrong there? |
Fill in your database details, then upload the file via ftp, overwriting the old one.
Im not sure why your dragging and dropping files, but i would edit directly from the server, then resave it to the server. Code:
<?php |
Please bear with me -- I just want to confirm each step of what I must do:
1. I right-click the "config.php" file in my ftp, and choose "View/Edit" 2. I delete everything, and replace it with what you posted. 3. I add my usernames and passwords that I'd "xxxxxx"ed out in my previous post. 4. Then what? How do I save this? Please bear with me as this stuff is like a foreign language to me, and I'm terrified of losing my website contents..... |
Most ftp programs like flashfxp, cuteftp & filezilla, let you use the standard "ctl + s" to save, it will reupload the file for you once its prompted to save.
I have my program as follows: 1. Connect via FlashFXP 2. Right click & select edit 3. FlashFXP opens Edit++ for me, as its my defautl editor 4. ctl +s & its resaved to the server. I would also suggest that your careful with what editor you use, notepad is fine. Do not use a built in editor such as the one provided thru for example Cpanel, as it will add white spacing to the end of the file & corrupt the config file. |
use notepad ++ to edit the config but first download a new unedited one first. If you give me the info needed for the config will do one for you
|
Mine is WordPad.
Actually, when I right-click and do "View/Edit" on the config.php file in my ftp, a window pops up that says: Quote:
Which should I choose? I don't have my WordPad open at all. I do have a file saved to my desktop, though......... does that mean the config.php file in my ftp is open? --------------- Added [DATE]1347151049[/DATE] at [TIME]1347151049[/TIME] --------------- How can I change it so that it opens in Notepad? I have Notepad on my computer, but config.php automatically opens in WordPad...... |
you need to download the config to your desktop first then edit it with the program i posted above
|
discard the local & redo it, as far as changing your default editor, you would need to consult the help section of your ftp program.

I just went into my ftp and did the following to change the editor from WordPad to NotePad, but it did not work:
Edit > Settings... > File Editing > Default Editor: (changed it from "Do not use default editor" to "Use custom editor:", from which point I browsed for Notepad here C:\Windows\system32\notepad.exe) I clicked OK. Then I right-clicked on the config.php file and chose "View/Edit", and when the window Quote:
It opened the file again in WordPad............... --------------- Added [DATE]1347154638[/DATE] at [TIME]1347154638[/TIME] --------------- Please can someone walk me through this? I'm really worried about losing the content of my website that I'd spent all day doing today...... --------------- Added [DATE]1347155277[/DATE] at [TIME]1347155277[/TIME] --------------- Ok, you know what? This is ridiculous. I just downloaded Notepad again. I clicked that I wanted it to be the default editor. And when I click "View/Edit" the config.php file, it ****STILL**** opens in WordPad. Can I just copy and Paste Special as Values (no formatting) from WordPad into Notepad? Or is the text ***already*** messed up the moment it is opened in WordPad???? This is very frustrating!!! What is the point of having WordPad if it just messes up text???? |
Restart your ftp program after changing the editor.
As i stated earlier, when it asked to keep or discard the old local copy, discard it. |
