Frederick Ding	Sunday 16 April 2006 10:39:04 am For Exponential 3.7.5, in the MySQL database section of the setup installer, you are instructed to provide the database information for a MySQL root user so that the installer can create databases for each site. I have a shared hosting account without SSH access and no MySQL root access where there is no possibility of gaining root access to the MySQL server. I have also attempted to use the manual installation methods to set up my Exponential site. When I used the manual setup, the administration interface continued to say that "The requested page could not be displayed. (3) The requested object is not available. Possible reasons: * The ID number of the object is incorrect. Please check the URL for spelling mistakes. * The object is no longer available." I can do nothing on my site! Can anybody help me install Exponential 3.7.5 on a Linux server, PHP version 4.4.1, MySQL version 4.1.18-standard, and Apache 1.3.34 (Unix)?
Gabriel Ambuehl	Sunday 16 April 2006 11:27:30 am I had no problem at all installing 3.7.4 on a shared hosting account. I just entered my user/password for MySQL and later got to chose which DB (of the ones I had access to) should be used. Did you try just simply entering your "normal" priviledged user? However: PHP 4.4.1 was a horribly broken release (4.4.0 and 4.4.2 are ok) and maybe you're having trouble with that, really. Visit http://triligon.org
