I have created a MySQL database and uploaded files as instructed.

I have reviewed all my configuration and the only setting that would allow me to successfully build the MySQL tables when calling up create.cgi is to enter "localhost" instead of my domain homeschoolads.com for the dbhost name.

However, I am getting a MySQL error when accessing http://www.homeschoolads.com/cgi-bin/classified/classads.cgi.

"Im sorry, there was an error with this operation: DBI: Access denied for user: 'hsads_bing@localhost' (Using password: YES)"

Please help.

Also, how do I add more categories later using MySQL?

Thanks.

This error either means the username you are using or the password is incorrect.

You can add/remove categories at any time by editing the categories array.

I have abandoned the MySQL option, too much trouble connecting to the database.

I switched to the flatfile option and am able to import reg data from the old version.

I have several questions:

1) Can the script email the user and Admin after each successful registration with his/her username and password?

2) How about also retrieve Username (not just Password)?

3) On the individual item page, can there be a link to show all ads by the same seller (just like in the old version)?

4) When placing an ad, the preview button shows an error 404 Not Found.

5) Can Admin view a list of all registered users on 1 page?

Thanks for your time and patience.

In reply to all of your questions, no, not unless you hack the script.

Will you offer customization like I mentioned above? How much?

Thanks.

We do not offer customizations at this time.
