Installation - PHP-NUKE Installation

installation loser

I can't for the life of me figure this thing out. I have websapce running on a linux server. I don't have root access but I can do basic commands like move stuff and chmod.

Installed nuke-php 7.7 on the server in the /domain.org/test directory. in the config file, I pointed it to the server that is running Mysql database. I then imported the nuke.sql into my test database. every time I try to bring up the admin.php I get nothing . just a blank page.
in the config file there are some entries I don't know what to put
$dbhost = ip of mysql server;
$dbuname = my login name to mysql;
$dbpass = "pass ";
$dbname = "test";
$prefix = I have no clue
$user_prefix = have no clue
$dbtype = "MySQL";
$sitekey = i just leave this blank
$gfx_chk = 0; not sure what this is
$subscription_url = "";
$admin_file = "admin";
$advanced_editor = 0;

is this causeing the issue? can someone please guide me on steps to figure this out. I have looked on the webpages but no one ever seems to get stuck right here.

thanks in advance

Ok lets break this down in simple terms

Code: :

$dbhost = ip of mysql server; --> leave as "localhost"
$dbuname = my login name to mysql;-->your database username you can find this in mysqldatabases -->
$dbpass = "pass "; --> you specify this when you make your dbname
$dbname = "test"; --> databasename --> found in MySql databases
$prefix = I have no clue --> leave as "nuke"
$user_prefix = have no clue --> leave as "nuke"
$dbtype = "MySQL"; --> leave as "MySQL"
$sitekey = i just leave this blank --> put in random letters and numbers inside the " " i just hit my keyboard a couple of times
$gfx_chk = 0; not sure what this is --> Leave at 0 is what I prefer
$subscription_url = ""; --> dont worry about this
$admin_file = "admin"; --> leave as "admin"
$advanced_editor = 0; --> leave this turned off at 0

If you already have made your database then I dont need to explain it. In which this case you have since you dumped your sql file into your database and made the tables.

"localhost" is a generic setting, a lot of webhosts use a specific address insted, especially if they have multiple servers and "localhost will not work. In the e-mail they sent you, look for something that looks like this:

mysql9.ixwebhosting.com or
mysql2.interhost.com or
myswl4.yourwebhost.com

On the same token, make sure you uploaded "All" the files onto your root directory and specificlly "All" the themes which came with your version.

Check your upload accuracy using a seperate ftp program than the one you used to upload the program initially

Not entirely true most hosts use locally installed SQL servers. Hence localhost. Reason is simple it's cheeper for them then having a seperate sql server. If the sql server is installed locally then it local host will work. Every server a host has, has it's own IP address and usually has a multitude of IP addresses they all don't share 1.

Here's proof all our servers run MY SQL as localhost, we have 5, each with 5 ip address's

Beyond that it's more secure and reliable in a sense. Security comes from everyone not sharing 1 sql server, if that one server gets hacked or goes down for any reason, every site depending on it goes down on every server.
