installation help request
i am not a prog... - November 8, 2009 - 10:54
hi,
I have uploaded my drupal site to my host.
I have set up a server and used phpmyadmin to import the .sql file.
Logging on I read:
Site off-line
The site is currently not available due to technical problems.
Is there an obvious solution to this?
Thanks in advance for any advice, help.

Hi
please read http://drupal.org/getting-started/install and how to set up the database part. if you having problems i can help you from there.
i think your problem is related to settings.php in files/default. check that you have set the correct values for
$db_url = 'mysql://username:password@localhost/databasename';

Do I insert the server code: (my_password)@(server addressi.e 208.334.etc )
Thanks again,

Find the line
$db_url = 'mysql://username:password@localhost/databasename';
let says my

databasename : drupal_test
then the line shud be
$db_url = 'mysql://wydle:1234567drupal@localhost/drupal_test';Arshad
