BellaOnline Forums Computers PHP New Problem, New Question

Okay now I have a question about the sql data base I downloaded. When I did the configuration it went through all the check points but it didn't complete the security check setting. I got an error message that said if I had a personal firewall to set it so it would let the sql through. I did that but nada.
Any suggestions?

sorry about the double post...I didn't know you could post if you haven't signed in so I posted and then noticed I wasn't logged in so re posted. Of course now I can't edit this off the screen because I'm not anonymous any more....I hope my day gets a lot better!
Okay, problem solved I just deleted the other post so now there are no double posts. Aren't you sorry that I found your php forum Diane?
Is there any software out there that has all of this stuff as a bundle and automatically configures it for you. Yes, it is getting that bad.....I'm considering "cheating"!

Okay, a friend sent me a link that works great. It is a server that you down load that has all the stuff you need and configures it for you.

Hope this can help someone else. It works fine and helped solve a lot of headaches

Glad you got it set up. The self installing server that I've used for a long time is Sokkit. Here's how to install it if anyone can use the info.

Thanks, I read your article and am in the process of reading through the past articles so I can find out information needed there.
wampserver is free I forgot to mention that in the last post.
