merged threads- installing a script

[MLLanser]

It says cant select database.... maybe I should delete the database and start over on that? This is getting frustrating....I copied and pasted right from the MySQL databases part so I know the db name is correct.... is there something else I should be putting in front of it? Like a path of sorts?

[MLLanser]

I got it!!!! When I went in and created a new database, I used the database wizard which I didnt use the first time. This time it had me add my username right away..... so now it works....
Thank you so very much for all your help!!

Hi there,
I was so happy to have it working earlier, but then I started getting this message..."Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: open(/tmp/sess_c1ce974ba484c11adc55dd6dd7773d4c, O_RDWR) failed: Permission denied (13) in /home/mllanser/public_html/admin.php on line 2

Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent (output started at /home/mllanser/public_html/admin.php:2) in /home/mllanser/public_html/admin.php on line 2"

It happens on every page I have, just putting in the type of page I am on (e.g. If I am on the upgrade page, it says at /home/mllanser/public_html/upgrade.php:2)
What caused this?
I went through and started from scratch even to try to get rid of it, and it didnt do a thing.
Help!
Thanks!

Ok I figured it all out. Thanks for the help anyway.

1. good
2. good
3. not necessary unless you are switching between databases.

It is important to use that method when you initially connect, however after you initially connect the connection remembers the database, unless you are using [icode]mysqli[/code], which you need to apply the connection link anyway

I thought that's what the error said-- no database selected. I guess that could also mean the DB doesn't exist, though.

@Jas - I meant good advice

I understood your comment, boogyman. I was just saying that I figured that perhaps the DB select was missing entirely-- although it's unlikely if the script was purchased. Anyway, the problem is solved.
