[Tut] How to make an external Registration Site

[MightyHaku]

What You Need

1 - A web host with PHP enabled. [ click ]
2 - A registration script [ click ]
3 - A MySQL Database

Steps To Do It

First off, you go into your MySQL database and create a new user access - I am using MySQL Query Browser but you can use whatever program fits you, as long as you know how. Please don't post questions like "how do i do this with x ?????????????".

In MySQL Query Browser go to Tools > MySQL Administrator and then click "Add New User"



Give it these priviliges:


Next, open up config.php from the registration script you downloaded above and change it like so:

$host['naam'] = 'PUT YOUR IP HERE';                // my host 
$host['gebruikersnaam'] = 'PUT THE USERNAME YOU MADE HERE';       // my database username 
$host['wachtwoord'] = 'PUT THE PASSWORD YOU DEFINED HERE';   // my database password 
$host['databasenaam'] = 'maplestory';       // my database name 

Now save it, make any further changes you want and upload it to the web host. Open it in your browser and you should be able to make an account!

Well done! You have set up an external registration site!

If this doesn't work then it may be that:

1. Your ports are not forwarded correctly (check your database for the port and then visit here
2. You entered something wrong.
3. You have given the wrong access to the user
4. Your host does not have PHP enabled.

Just to clear this up, for the config.php file the format should be something like this
$host['naam'] = '127.0.0.1'; // my host (No Im not retarded Im not putting my real IP though.
$host['gebruikersnaam'] = 'Registration'; // my database username
$host['wachtwoord'] = 'LIEK CENSORED'; // my database password
$host['databasenaam'] = 'maplestory'; // my database name

umm it says:

lanbo, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

1. Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
2. If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

when i try going on the registration script, can you post it for me?

[asdasd444]
