I have looked through the other listing in this forum and did see the one on insrtalltion errors but I still have several errors. I have installed this before so I am not certain what I am doing wrong here.

Current errors are
Warning: main(/escalendar/includes/dbConnect.inc): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/nhwgcap/public_html/escalendar/config.php on line 421

Warning: main(/escalendar/includes/dbConnect.inc): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/nhwgcap/public_html/escalendar/config.php on line 421

Warning: main(): Failed opening '/escalendar/includes/dbConnect.inc' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/nhwgcap/public_html/escalendar/config.php on line 421

Unable to locate the database at this time.

Now I have checked the dbConnect.inc and the config.php and they seem correct. I know these errors ussually are errors connecting to the databse.

Here is what I have
$dbConnect = "/escalendar/includes/dbConnect.inc";
$directory = "/escalendar";
define ("DATABASE_NAME", this is correct and I don't want to place that in an open forum like this

Connect file has
$dbcnx = @mysql_connect("localhost", "username", "password");

Any Ideas?

Hi Dan:
I too am having the same problem with a new calendar installation. I have used exactly as you recommended below but still get the(same) error. The tables are all up fine and I used the following path:

$dbConnect = "/home/rugby/public_html/calendar/includes/dbConnect.inc";
I know the database name, user and passwords are all correct.

Does this path need adjusting do you think?

Ditto to the last question I asked above:

"Did you put the 'includes' folder within the calendar folder or is it outside the web root?"

If your 'includes' folder is not within the 'calendar' folder, then that's the source of your error.

Cheers,
Dan

Hi Dan:
I kept the file structure exactly how it came. So yes, the includes folder is inside the "calendar" directory.
calendar/
calendar/includes
calendar/images
calendar/templates
calendar/language

The dbConnect.inc is inside the includes. What did I miss?

What's the exact error message you're getting?

Hi there Dan:
I get this:
Unable to locate the database at this time.

Another detail - not sure whether or not it is important. The site itself has just been moved over to a new server (the calendar script added to the new server), but the dns change has not been made - will probably be done tomorrow. Does that have any effect?
You can get to the site here:
http://209.172.32.92/~rugby and the calendar is in a folder within, so:
http://209.172.32.92/~rugby/calendar

What do you think?

Ah, so it isn't exactly the same as above...

Have you checked the error logs to see if there's a path error reported like with the original poster?

I don't think the DNS status should be an issue, as the include problem is a server path, not a URL. My guess is an incorrect path setting for the new server setup.

Cheers,
Dan

The paths are definitely important, but that should be independent from the DNS and domain. I've seen funny stuff with DNS propagation, though.
