Message-ID: <200507301221.54204.micael.beronius@telia.com> Hello, I'm in the middle of trying to set-up polarblog on my server. But I'm having problem with the mysql set-up, which is not surprising at all, since I know very little about how it (mysql) works. I have got it all to install, I have edited the config.php with these settings define('DB_HOST', 'localhost'); define('DB_NAME', 'polarblog_sql'); define('DB_USER', 'polarblog__user'); define('DB_PASSWD', 'polarblog__password'); The rest is as default for now. I have created a database with mysqladmin, named polarblog_sql. I have added rigths for polarblog__user with polarblog__password on polarblog_sql with the following line; grant all on polarblog_sql.* to "polarblog__user" identified by "polarblog__password"; flush privileges; Mysql is running on the same box as apache2 and where polarlava is installed. When I tries to access this box from a box with X i point may browswer to; http://10.1.200.10/polarblog/install.php I get two error rows on top of the page which says; Warning: mysql_error(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in /var/www/localhost/htdocs/polarblog/lib/MySqlDb_class.php on line 489 Warning: mysql_error(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in /var/www/localhost/htdocs/polarblog/lib/MySqlDb_class.php on line 489 Below, I get the correct page, butI have not continued the installation from there. I have; polarblog 1.52 python 2.3.5 mysql 4.0.24 apatche 2.0.54-r8 running on amd64, 64 bit Gentoo.

Basically "supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource" means the link to the database was not properly established. Assuming the very basics that you didn't have typo when you created the db user and what you've configured in PB matches that, I'm guessing you've fallen victim to what I now can the "Gentoo Syndrome". I don't know anything about this distribution, but I know several users have had problems with it. The good news is that my friend and fellow PB user Alan has figured this mystery out! Read this from the archives and see if it helps you out: http://www.polarlava.com/pipermail/polarblog_polarlava.com/2005-May/000051.html I also want to congratulate you on writing a very detailed and complete message. Too often people looking for help --be it on PB or something else, simply send a "I got this error why doesn't it work" sort of message. :) Let me know if this works for you or not. If not we'll work through it some more. If it doesn't work, I'll send you a test/debug file. Regards, Kevin L.
