Install Error
Submitted by dualfish on Wed, 2007-10-24 07:42.AutoSitemap
I have upload the AutoSitemap to my server. I also set up a new SQL database.
I edited everything in the config.php file, but I encountered the following error:
Checking database connection...FAIL check $config_databaseUsername and $config_databasePassword values
I have check over and over again, there isn't any typo error.
Can someone share some suggestion how I can rectify this issue?
Thank you.
BTW, may I know where is the sitemap file?
Hi,
The error indicates that either your username and password are wrong, or the server name is wrong. First, check your value for $config_databaseServer. For most users, it is just "localhost", but for some hosting companies you have to use a specific name for the MySQL server, for example "mysql.hostingcompany.com". If that is correct, then double check that your username and password have permission to access that database.
When installation is complete, your sitemap file is generated by sitemap.php, so your sitemap will be http://www.example.com/sitemap.php. This script returns XML instead of HTML and is perfectly acceptable to Google.
Cheers,
David.
