I am having the following error when i open setup.php
I have given the right database information. But sill its not working….

showHeader(); if (isset($_POST['installStatus'])) $installStatus = $_POST['installStatus']; $success = “”; $failure = “”; // Create Database Connection and test to see if DB properties are correct $ADODB_FETCH_MODE = ADODB_FETCH_ASSOC; $conn = &ADONewConnection(’mysql’); if (!$conn->Connect($dbhost,$dbuser,$dbpass,$dbdatabase)) { ?> Could not connect to the selected database: . Check the config.php file to be sure you set the correct database server, database name, username, and password. Contact your system administrator if you do not know these values.

You need to fix this before you can continue with the installation process.
showFooter(); exit; } if(!isset($installStatus)) { ?>

Greg
POP3 Before SMTP

I just wanted to let you know, that I installed your product and it works fine. Unfortunately the php mail() function was very slow, so I decided to swith to SMTP. My host though required POP3 autorization before SMTP. Since your product did not support it naturally, I made a few changes, based on Richard Davey’s code (http://www.corephp.co.uk/archives/18-POP-before-SMTP-Authentication-for-PHPMailer.html) and it works fine. Here is what I changed:
added file class.pop3.php (from dave)

in config_email.php added
var $POP3Auth = true;
var $POP3Host = “mail.felicity-art.com”;
var $POP3Username = “user@felicity-art.com”;
var $POP3Password = “mypassword”;

in getcard.php and process_compose.php added
if ($POP3Auth)
{
require ‘class.pop3.php’;
$pop = new POP3();
$pop->Authorise($POP3Host, 110, 30, $POP3Username, $POP3Password, 1);
}
$emailer = new emailer();
if ($POP3Auth)
{

$emailer->IsSMTP();
$emailer->SMTPDebug = 1;
}

I just uploaded gCards version 1.45. This should hopefully fix all of the issues people had with the authentication. Basically when it was written I used a mysql specific function called ‘password’ for creation of and validation of the users password. MySQL changed this in one of there versions – 4.x I think. I’ve updated gcards to store the password as an md5 hash of the real password, so that should hopefully stand the test of time, as its not specific to any mySQL version…

enjoy

Hi Greg,

Your gCards is exactly what I’ve been looking for. I installed it tonight and the default username/password would not work. I went into my database and created an additional one for myself, and got the same error. Basically stating its invalid. Can you please contact me. I searched your site for a help section or contact email, nothing can be found.

Thanks again!

hi greg!

you don’t know how long i’ve searched for an ecard program, and one that had the features without looking cramped or that was hosted on another site.
i downloaded your folder…but, i am definitely not a programmer, and barely know html. so i was lost after reading your User Guide after 1. Download….
do you have more detailed, handholding info on how to create the database, and php file, and everything else past step 1.?

desperately seeking info (or better yet, some kind of simple to implement, automated file that i can just cut and paste or download somewhere)
thanks much! cool photogs, btw, i am an artist too!
