hello everyone

id like to host the cms made simple on my local webserver and connect remotely to a mysql database.

first of all, is this possible?
If there is a solution, could you please let me know what parameters i specifically have to set to enable this kind of configuration.

ive tried by entering all the appropraite db parameters in the config file, however i receive the follwoing connection error:
Call to undefined function mysql_pconnect() in...  such and such subdirectory of webroot folder


I'm running CMS Made Simple 0.11.2. I'm using PHP 5.1.1, and MySQL. This is all meant to work with IIS 5.1 running on Windows XP, and MySQL remote hosting.


thanks

mbenic

Sounds like you don't have perisistent connections.  No worries.  Just change persistent_db_conn to false in config.php and try again.
