Help Configuring cfg.php file

tophdingo · #1 May 2nd, 2008, 11:44 PM

I am trying to edit the following cfg.php file. I understand the variables that need to be modified, but the end of the file talking about deleting the installer.php and sql.sql file is foreign to me. Those didn't come with the program---that I can find. What am I missing?

<?php

// Config vars - absolutely needed before anything really happens.
ini_set("include_path", ".:/home/yousites/pathto/");

///////////////////////////////////TEAMSTN
// License key
$cfg['licensekey'] = "****";

// The local path on your server of GameSiteScript, INCLUDING THE TRAILING SLASH.

$cfg['instdir'] = '/home/yousites/pathto/';
// The Internet URL of GameSiteScript, INCLUDING THE TRAILING SLASH.
// This should be something like http://www.1800myarcade.com/
$cfg['baseurl'] = 'http://www.yoursite.com/';
// Your MySQL database information information

$cfg['sqluser'] = 'mysqldatabaseusername';
$cfg['sqlpass'] = 'mysqldatabasepassword';
$cfg['sqldb'] = 'mysqldatabasename';
$cfg['sqlhost'] = 'localhost';
// The title of your homepage. The global site title can be changed in the admin area.
$cfg['pagetitle'] = 'http://www.yoursite.com';
///////////////////////////////////

function critcalerror($text) {
echo "<body style='background-color: #CCCCCC;'><div style='color: #FF0000; font-weight: bold; text-align: center; border: 1px solid #000000; background-color: #FFFFFF; margin: 8px; padding: 4px;'>".$text."</div></body>";
die();
}

function obcallback($buffer) {
return obcallbackreplace($buffer);
}

if (!isset($adminarea)) {
ob_start("obcallback");
}

include "mysql.php";
include "plugins/functions.php";

$db = new mysql;
$db->connect($cfg['sqlhost'], $cfg['sqluser'], $cfg['sqlpass'], $cfg['sqldb']);

// magic_quotes sucks big time

if (get_magic_quotes_gpc() == 1) {

$_REQUEST = array_map("stripslashes", $_REQUEST);
$_GET = array_map("stripslashes", $_GET);
$_POST = array_map("stripslashes", $_POST);
$_COOKIE = array_map("stripslashes", $_COOKIE);

}

set_magic_quotes_runtime(0);

if (isset($adminarea) && !isset($_GET["act"])) {
include $cfg['instdir']."license.php";
}

// No access to admin area until files are removed.
if ((is_readable($cfg['instdir']."installer.php") || is_readable($cfg['instdir']."sql.sql")) && (isset($adminarea)) && (basename($_SERVER["SCRIPT_FILENAME"])!="installer.php")) {
critcalerror("Please delete installer.php and sql.sql from your installation directory.");
}

?>

I purchased the program this goes with, but support won't help me without charging a hefty fee. I have followed their instructions and cannot get the site running.

The delete note means you need to physically remove those two files from your server. The line of code you see is merely a warning to you that they still exist, you don't need to edit that line of code, remove the files.

Is there a search function in cpanel to find them? I have not been able to locate them. I have looked in every folder on my site.

in the code above it says home/yoursites/pathto

If my domain is roger.com do I change it to home/roger/patho?

no. You need to know your exact server path to the application folder for whatever php script/application it is you are installing. The host should be able to tell you this.

As for removing the install.php and sql.sql files, you need to use an ftp client, the cpanel won't do it most likely.

Based on your questions, you may be much better off paying for installation.
