Script install.

[GeeZus]

Basically i've got a script and wanting to install it etc..

But on the install page it shows..

MySQL root password:                                                           
Used for setting up the database only - is not stored.

Does this mean i would need a VPS or a dedicated server for it?

Because on shared it would not be possible on single accounts correct?

EDIT: Wait a second, is this to create new databases, or setup just that one database for the script?

I think you must first create sql database then attach user on it with permissions allow it to install your script.

It's two different databases, one requires the MySQL root password.

Then it shows the normal under it..

Database:
Username:
Password:

hi can you tell me the name of the script your trying to install

[bennelsworth]

A script asking for root password sounds a bit dubious, a standard user would be fine unless its trying to create a database all for itself.

Right heres some more info...

I basically need this for it to run.

In order to run, you need the following software:

- apache

- MySQL

- memcached

And the following php extensions:

- GD (for the captcha and the similar artist map)

- mb_string (multibyte strings)

- mcrypt (for encrypting cookies)

- memcache (interface to connect with memcached)

- mysqli (because the ordinary mysql libraries just don't cut it)

- for PHP TURN MAGIC_QUOTES_GPC OFF

Anyone recommend a host which i can get the following?

And possibly have the script setup for me.

Are you trying to install What.cd's Gazelle?

[GeeZus]

VPS would also do the job. I guess.
