[hillick]

hi all,

say i have my cms site on one server and the database im going to be connecting to on another server, how do i set up cms?
im on step 4 of the cms setup and this is the case...  where id normally enter localhost what must i enter? i have the ip address of the server but is this all i need? if so it doesnt appear to be working    can anyone help?

Have you ask your provider if his database server allows connections from outside?

[enisdev]

your ip or your db username must be configured in the database server to allow connection from outside.

ok i got the connection sorted, my provider hadnt provided correct permissions....

now however, i get this error

i really need some help with this... anyone?

[cyberman]

Are you sure all paths in config.php are correct? Have you tried install wizard once again?

[hillick]

all paths appear to be correct...  running through the install process again hasnt helped???

[hillick]

ok, scratch the last problem, i uploaded the cms again, now im getting the following

Fatal error: Call to undefined function token_get_all() in /path to doc root/lib/smarty/internals/core.write_compiled_include.php on line 45

May be an FTP upload failure.
Scratch and reinstall but before make sure the upload is OK. Check your FTP client's log.
