Thread: Directory page getting hung up

Hello. I just had a lot of help from a WTF member. He got me so far, but my host is making my page stop (or something). Here is where I am talking about my directory. My host is Startlogic. Thanks - BK

It will not let me select a language. It is acting like it will go through when I click "Next", but then does nothing. Anybody know?

This is phpld version 2.1.2.
I uploaded it, and that is the problem I ran into.
Just hangs on the first page of install and will not go further.
I even made sure that all the files were correct and loaded up.

I would be curious if a fix is found to know what it is.
Best I can figure out, is the hosting.

Maybe dvduval will come around and shed some light on this issue, I believe he is on the phpLD staff!

Not only on the staff, he's the owner of PHPLD.

Thanks for setting me straight Kalina

Try this:
phpLinkDirectory v2.1.2 Install - Welcome

Thank you. That got me a little bit further, but now I am getting the same treatment as before but at a different screen. Now I am at the "Database Settings" screen and when I hit "next" it looks like it is loading to a new page, but getting hung up. Where do I find my "database server"? I read in one tutorial that most hosts use "LOCALHOST", so I am using that for my "database server". If it is wrong will it give me an error screen? Or will it just hang up?? I am looking through my control panel for what I should use for the "database server", and I can't find much. - BK

Majority of times, using localhost works.
If not, check with your host company for their dns to use.

Don't you wish you had another host?

Yes, does sound like the host is a little less than ideal. Sometimes you can enter the ip address of the database, and some hosts use a special naming convention as well.
