Hi guys,

I downloaded a "calendarix" script from HotScripts. It's pretty involved (at least, a php n00b like me thinks it is), but the setup of it is pretty easy. I attached the zip file I downloaded to this post so you can take a look.

I created the MySQL database with the included sql file. No problem. I created a user, a password for that user, etc, etc...

The script works. You can see it in action here (http://www.bartlett-family.net/calendar). However, when I click "administration" on the bottom left, and then input the username and password I created, it rejects me.

In the "cal_db.inc.php" file, I changed the following to reflect the MySQL user and password I made.

# database connection

$db = 'calendar';
$dbuser = 'cal';
$dbpass = 'xxxxxx';
$dbhost = 'localhost';

mysql_connect($dbhost,$dbuser,$dbpass) or die("could not connect");
mysql_select_db("$db") or die("could not open database");


Still, it rejects me so I can't perform any admin functions. Anyone know what's wrong? Sorry if I'm being vague. I don't know how else to describe it. Can you guys take a look and help me out, please? I'm using phpmyadmin.

Thanks!

Chris

The login to your MySQL database is not necessarily the same login to the administration of the script.

From the README file:
To use the calendar:
- just follow the installation instructions in the section below.
- if you are required to login to view the public calendar, username: 'test', password: 'testing'.
- for login into the administration, username: 'admin', password: 'admin'.
;)

Cool. I missed that. Duh. Got in, changed stuff. I swear, my brain cells die as I get older... :D

Thanks, Matt!

PS. I couldn't attach the zip file because it was too large.

Glad you worked it out. Anyway you could give a link to the hotscripts page :)

I have to admit, this is a pretty cool, highly useful script. I wonder if someday it could be written so as to work with Palm OS. Now THAT would be incredibly useful. I use the crap out of this calendar already. Even easier than my Palm, and I still use the crap out of that thing, too!
