Help with php config

[trance_inducer]

Hi

I am new to php and mysql and want to get started with it..........but I can't ...I do seem to be able to get past the first hurdle on the config file.....can some please what and where I need to change...all a bit confusing for a first timer....

Fatal Error:

configurator.php:125: Error: Configuration problem:

* ADMIN_USER not defined in "/home/findahyp/public_html/phpwiki/config/config.ini".
* Cannot continue: You have to fix that manually.

there is a file called wiki in the directory that displays this

<?php // -*-php-*-
/*
PrettyWiki startup script.
Sample to override the default wiki (Theme, Language, DB, ...).
Also For Wiki farms.
Simplifies USE_PATH_INFO paths:
"/<home>/wiki/HomePage" instead of "/<home>/wiki/index.php/HomePage"
The simpliest version is
<?php include "index.php"; include "lib/main.php"; ?>

Note: This needs a webserver handler to PHP like this on Apache:

<Files "wiki">
SetHandler application/x-httpd-php
<defined APACHE2>
AcceptPathInfo on
</defined>
</Files>
*/
define('VIRTUAL_PATH', $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']);

// Override the default configuration for CONSTANTS before index.php
$LANG='de'; $LC_ALL='de_DE';
define('THEME', 'default');
define('WIKI_NAME', "WikiDemo:$LANG:" . THEME);

// Load the default configuration.
include "index.php";

// Override the default configuration for VARIABLES after index.php:
// E.g. Use another DB:
//$DBParams['dbtype'] = 'SQL';
//$DBParams['dsn'] = 'mysql://<user>:<pass>@localhost/<username>_wiki';

// Start the wiki
include "lib/main.php";
?>



I have tried to edit the file and put a user name and pw but still cannot get it to work...


Any help would be appreciated...

Cheers

Have you tried editing /home/findahyp/public_html/phpwiki/config/config.ini as the error is instructing you to, or just the wiki file?

Hi

Yep I have tried to change the config file..... but maybe I am doing something wrong..

Another helpful site site shows a screen shot like this http://www.phpbuilder.com/columns/ph...creenshot1.jpg

Mine looks nothing like this....in cpanel I click on show file and get a load of text ..I have found the following amongst the text ...and assume I need to change it......what user name and password do i enter....is it the same one as I use to access my cpanel? sorry sounding a bit thick i know...

; Logging into the wiki with the admin user and password allows you to lock,
; unlock, or remove pages and to perform other PhpWikiAdministration
; functions. On all other occasions you should simply log in with your
; regular WikiName.
; If your password contains special chars like ";" or ":" better quote it in double-quotes.
ADMIN_USER = [username]

; You must set this! Username and password of the administrator.
; ADMIN_PASSWD is ignored on HttpAuth
ADMIN_PASSWD = [password]


cheers

At this point you are creating a username and password for your admin account.

Perhaps you would be better off consulting the support forum/website/email for this particular script as they would be more familiar with what you need to do for that specific PHP script.
