Are you certain you uploaded ALL 68C files including the Connections folder?

If so, your database server could be down or the database connection info doesn't match up. Try opening connections/classifieds.php to get your database details, then go to your sites control panel and make sure they're the same.

In particular, check that "localhost" is being used as the name of the database server and that the username and password in your connections file actually have the correct permissions (rights) set to access the database.

Thanks for the post Michael! However, this isn't a database connection value. Instead, thinusmj's server cannot create a connection to our server for licensing.

Thinusmj - sometimes this error occurs because of DNS issues related to your hosting service. Here's the fix:

- open setup/includes/step2.php
- change the following code (line 51):

PHP Code:
$home_url_site 'www.68classifieds.com'
to:
PHP Code:
// $home_url_site = 'www.68classifieds.com';
$home_url_site '72.32.40.243'
This will bypass relying on your host's local DNS settings. Let us know if this worked please.

DO NOT POST USERNAMES AN PASSWORDS in a public forum for your own security and safety!!!!

I edited your post to block those items.

A couple of things:
First, did you actually edit the file that Blair suggested in the setup folder?

Secondly, you have to enter your license key during the setup.

Thirdly, you posted that the classifieds-orig.php contains..... The setup writes a file classifieds.php not classifieds-orig.php which is simply a "template" of sorts if you want to make a copy and do it manually.

One other thing you should check is that the all of the database information is actually correct. The database name, user and password. MANY shared hosting services will prefix your database names and usernames with your account or something else. Verify this information in your hosting control panel using whatever access they have for you for the mySQL server management. although most hosting services use "localhost" for mySQL connections it is NOT always the case.

Hope this helps and good luck.
