xataface and ovh provider

[alphanet]

Hi all, I'm trying the nice xataface mysql frontend on an OVH provider shared space. I encountered 2 problems :

- a 500 internal error due to the fact that index.php and installer.php are RW.RW.R.. If I change to RW.R..R.. it goes right

- The SQL database is on a server that is not the web server and I did not find how to specify the database server to the installer.php

Do someone has any idea about hose two points?

Thanks

For the database host issue, find the line in installer.php that looks like:

Code: Select all

define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');  // This is the host of your mysql dbms


And change it to the correct host.

Ok Thanks. I thought that there was a way to override this parameter with another file (in case of xataface upgrade).
The internal 500 error was a bad message due to the database server misconfiguration. The explanation worked but it was a workaround. When I correct the database server name I can keep the RW.RW.R.. rights.
