CMS Made Simple Forums

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?

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?

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

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

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.
