I downloaded the http://www.ravenphpscripts.com/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=ns_getit&cid=27&lid=264&type=url#get

when it was downloaded I just get 1 file that is not recognised and I can't open it with anything, I was expecting a folder with different files in it :s am I supposed to get more files with it?
I'm new to this so sorry if I sound dumb lol

The file you are trying to download is compressed using 7zip, you will need to download this program to uncompress and you will then get all the folders and files.

Alternatively Raven has provided copies of the files in different compression formats. Namely RAR and ZIP, so if you have either if these already download the relevant format.

Ok I unzipped all the files but now I'm unsure where to put them, do I put the whole raven folder into the root? Or do I have to upload different files to other places? I tried just uploading the whole file to the root but nothing is happening and it says directory listing denied so nothing comes on the browser.

Just the files in the html folder need to be uploaded.

I just uploaded the html folder to the website but what do I need to do next? I looked into the installation folder and seen the installsql.php file but most of these files are not recognising, they don't open or anything so I don't know. Is there something else I have to do or install here?

Load INSTALLATION/installSQL.php in your browser. It should load up just fine

Hi i've been away so not been on here for week or so anyway I got back to doing my website and uploaded the html file onto my website. I then opend the installSQL.php file into the web browser to set up my website. I got an error message and it was saying:

MySQL Database Connectivity Test Results

config.php file found!
I was unable to reach your MySQL server using the MySQL connection settings in your nuke config.php file. The exact error that MySQL reported is:
MySQL Error # 2 = Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/usr/local/mysql-5.0/data/mysql.sock' (2)

Can someone help me resolve this problem please? I'm not the best of people on setting up a website but I thought I could do it no problem, guess not lol

Thanks
Danny

danny234, please walk through the provided HowToInstall manual step by step because you are not yet set up your database it looks like or have an issue with your config.php settings for the database.
