Write You - Installing PhpBB On GoDaddy
At one time or another, everyone on the Internet gets asked to participate in a survey of some sort. Most of us, at least at first, actually go through the whole process and actually finish a survey or two.But did you know that it's possible to get paid for doing that? It is! The reason is that the productive machinery of big companies that produce goods and services, depends on consumer decisions. Ultimately in a free-market economy it is the consumer who votes for what he wants and likes, voting with his discretionary spending dollars.So those in charge of producing are constantl
I'm writing this as I'm doing a the install for the forums at Open Source Depot (and taking screen snapshots along the way). Right now, my ftp client (FileZilla) is uploading the files to my server. For me, this will take a few minutes, during which time I should go over to my godaddy server and set up a MySQL database.
I don't have room here to discuss every nuance of how to set up a MySQL database on g
I am sure you know as well as I do that the odds are stacked against you when starting an internet business like marketing. Internet marketing is booming with a multitude of individuals coming onto the scene daily. Starting a marketing business can be very overwhelming to a newcomer. The amount of affiliate programs out there is astounding. Choosing the right ones can be hard to do.So how do you prevent yourself from being overwhelmed you ask? Simple, you streamline. Another words, do not try and promote everything you come across. To keep up with so many different products and program
The forum software, phpBB, which stands I assume for PHP bulletin board is a really nice piece of free open source software. It allows you to run a forum, also known as a bulletin board, on your web site assuming you have the following.
1) Your web server needs to support php (as godaddy does at least certainly on their linux offerings). 2) You need access to a MySQL database. - actually, technically you need one of the supported databases, but since I'm writing this in the context of running it on godaddy, let's consider MySQL the de-facto standard.
Let's get down to installing phpBB on godaddy.com. The first thing you need to do is download phpBB. You can find this by doing a search on google, or by going to Open Source Depot.
Once you've downloaded phpBB to your local machine, you'll need to unzip it. After unzipping, you'll find a folder with all the phpBB files in it. In fact, with the version I downloaded it was several folders deep.
Create a folder on your server to put your phpBB install. On my server, I've decided to put phpBB in my /opensourcedepot/forums folder. the folder /opensourcedepot already existed, so I needed to create a sub folder called forums. I did this using FileZilla (the FTP client program that I like to use).
So, now I change to the forums directory and "put" all the files and folders contained in my phpBB folder to the server. It's the directory with the admin folder and all the files, basically take everything recursively down.

The following information is based upon over 500 interviews with senior executives with whom I conducted over the past four years. These senior executives represent a variety of industries and organizations. It is interesting to note the similarities of their responses. The research concentrated on five areas:1. How they gained their experience and knowledge to become a senior executive.2. What are their attitudes and opinions concerning the youth of today?3. What are they most concerned about in running an organization in today’s society?4. What are their hobbies and int

That's a question that worries many people on the Internet. And some people go to great lengths to hide their source code.There are several reasons you might want to conceal the source code of your web pages:=> you have web pages that rank highly in the searchengines and you don't want people to see your meta tags=> you don't want people copying your web page designor java scripts=> you want to protect your website from email harvestersand other spam utilitiesBut can you hide your source code?The short answer is no - to display a web

Most closers have been taught to ask for the deal, and some actually do. After finishing a presentation, they will say something like:"So how does that sound?" (Weak closing attempt) or,"Have I answered all your questions?" (They then expect or hope the client volunteers to buy -- again weak) or,"Would you like to place the order now?" (Slightly better, at least they're asking for the deal) or,"So let's get you started..." (They then wait for the prospect to say yes or for them to keep asking questions--still not good enough)The problem with all these closing attem

I don't have room here to discuss every nuance of how to set up a MySQL database on godaddy, but there are other sources of information to help you with that, including those found at Open Source Depot. That article outlines the one really important thing about installing these pieces of software on GoDaddy, the database IP address.
Most of these installs assume that "localhost" will work (as it does on say hostgator), but on GoDaddy, you're database is not necessarily on the same machine as your web server, so you need to specify an address like myname.myserver.net in order to find that address you need to open your database from the hosting manager and the address will appear in your title bar. Either that, or go to the MySQL databases section and click on the pencil. The url for your database should appear somewhere on the screen.
I've set up my database on GoDaddy and I know my IP address for it (I'm not going to give you the real address, or logon id, or passwords here, so don't even bother looking :-)
Your phpBB files are in your forums directory on the server and you know your godaddy database IP (also username, dbname and password). Now you're ready to start the install. To do this, just go to the URL you installed the files to. Now all we need to do is follow the instructions.
I will only mention the items that I am changing in the install. Everything else is left as default.
1) Database Server HostName/DSN in this box I will put in my db IP address foo.myserver.net (of course mine is different...but I'm not telling what it was, for security reasons).
2) Your Database Name (the name you specified when creating your database.
3) Your Database User Name (with godaddy, the same as your database name).
4) Database password. The password you specified when creating the db.
5) prefix for tables in database. This is defaulted to phpbb_ I changed it to phpb
