TXP dev install

So I am trying to get Txp running in a subdirectory of my clients site. His current site will remain live until I complete my Txp magic and then push it up to the root directory. I’ve already uploaded the files in the appropriate directory but setup chokes when I try to connect to MySQL database:

Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Unknown MySQL server host ‘http’ (1) in textpattern/setup/index.php on line 188
Can’t connect to database

WHats the best way to approach this problem?

Re: TXP dev install

Your problem is that your host is wrong.
it should be localhost or domain.com…….not http://www.domain.com or other derivations

Re: TXP dev install

Yup..that wasindeed the problem.

I suppose my real question is…what steps will I need to take when I decide to go live. I assume that simply moving my TXP install to root directory will not suffice. I am also entertaining the idea of having multiple TXPs installed, one live and one for dev. I am sure there is a way to do this, but my searches turn up fruitless…the search function is a little weird here…lots of unrelated posts

1. Move your files.
2. Open up your config.php and correct the txpath.
3. Login and go to admin prefs, and update the site url.
4. Go to advanced admin prefs and update your tmp and file paths.

All done.
