Media temple and config.php

squaredeye · 2006-11-29 22:10:51

Anybody have issues connecting to (MT)’s databases on the new Grid Server?

my config.php looks like so:

Domain of (dv) Server?:

My details are below.
I am trying to figure out why how my config file for a textpattern install may be configured incorrectly? I am getting an error specific to Textpattern that suggests I am not entering my Media Temple information correctly. Can you let me know if you see an obvious error?

Thanks.

HEre is my config setup:

<?php $txpcfg['db'] = ' database name '; $txpcfg['user'] = 'user'; $txpcfg['pass'] = 'pass'; $txpcfg['host'] = 'external-db.sUserNo..gridserver.com'; $txpcfg['table_prefix'] = ''; $txpcfg['txpath'] = '/home/user/domains/website.net/html/textpattern'; $txpcfg['dbcharset'] = 'utf8'; ?>

And the details of the Database are below.
website.net mysql server:

Internal: internal-db.sUserNo.gridserver.com
External: external-db.sUserNo.gridserver.com

I’m getting a “database unavailable” error?

Any thoughts?

I am pretty certain you want to use the internal host, not the external one. You’ve also got an extra . in $txpcfg['host'].

Mary,
Thanks, It has gone a bit further now, but I can’t seem to get it to connect.
Now I’ve got an error likely related to the direct path to the txp install?

Is there an easy way to figure that out without installing fresh? That’s how I’ve known what that path was before?

:)

Thanks

Hi, use: /domains/domain.com/html/textpattern

Also, you can ftp a php file up with:

phpinfo();

load that file in a browser and it’ll tell you enough to get you going…

Can you ssh into the server? If so, go to the texpattern folder and type PWD. It will tell you exactly where you are.

Walker · 2006-11-29 23:56:47

Yes, MediaTemple’s GS allows ssh.

Walker, Hak,
Could this have anything to do with the dns nameservers still being turned over from the old ones?
They probably have 12-48 hours left to populate?

I am a little unfamiliar with using Terminal, what kinds of commands would I need?

I’m a little stuck here? Never had this issue before?

specifically
These are the errors I’m getting:
Warning: main(/domains/realdifference.net/html/textpattern/publish.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/6884/domains/realdifference.net/html/index.php on line 33

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: textpattern() in /home/6884/domains/realdifference.net/html/index.php on line 34

The domain: realdifference.net is currently registered with yahoo, but I got my client to move their servers to (mt).
I’m currently accessing the site through the (mt) configured IP ( s6884.gridserver.com )

Nah. To me it looks like it’s a path problem.

terminal:

ssh -l [username] [domain.com]
[enter password at prompt]
cd domains/[domain.com]/html/textpattern
pwd

(of course replace anything I put in brackets with your info and don’t leave the brackets in.)

Oh, and your username should be something like: serveradmin@yourdomain.com

Oh, and this might be your path: /home/6884/domains/realdifference.net/html/textpattern

(from that information you just added)

squaredeye · 2006-11-30 03:25:37

I had tried that path above before, but some combination of troubleshooting seems to have given way to success.
Thanks Walker, Hak, Mary :)

I’d like to learn more terminal. I think that Transmit even offers some SSH features as well. SHould be good to learn at some point.
I tried your command walker and got the following returned:
