Hi guys im building a website (slowly of course..as im taking a bit of a leap into database's), any way im in a bit of a quandry and hitting a brick wall, heres whats happening

1) i have to use phpmyadmin and MySQL on Localhost as the host im using wont allow direct connections to the one provided for me with my web account..

2) So im building the database on localhost and working in php through dreamweaver and everything is going great, i view my pages, click my links, register, go to my thankyou page, recieve my welcome emails etc and can see in the MySQL database that everything has gone fine..

3) heres what happens next, i upload my database .SQL to my Remote MySQL database, upload my web pages by FTP to my site, then when i test it, i just get my homepage, i click a link to register and get nothing except an error which is.....

Warning: main(../Connections/ukkiss.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /websites/LinuxPackage02/uk/_k/is/uk-kiss.com/public_html/registration.php on line 1

4) do i need to edit anyfiles that im uploading to my remote to show a path to my database,,its the only thing i can think of..

can anyone try and explain where im going wrong?.. i've tried to keep it as simple as i can for you.. fingers crossed..HB

From the error message, it seems there is an relative path to access an included file

../Connections/ukkiss.php)

Check that there is a directory named "Connections" with the file ukkiss.php at the same level than the directory you have uploaded your script.

/ (public_html)
¦
¦-->Connections
¦            ¦
¦            ¦-->ukkiss.php
¦
¦-->test
      ¦        
      ¦-->registration.php

PS
By checking more your error message, it looks like your file is in ths web server root level (public_html).
Then, your problem is that the include try to look or the file on the wrong place.

Try to include your files that way:

PHP Code:

require_once($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."/Connections/ukkiss.php"); 


That should solve your problem, and allow to move your script anywhere in the site without having to modify the include or require statement

sorry about this.i never updated this post, i got it solved eventually, after numerous emails bouncing back and forth between myself and pipex i finally managed to get intouch with someone who knows his job, i had to edit the ukkiss.php (ie change it from localhost to a "name" that pipex use, which they dont tell you about, strange that isnt it)
