As I know, as long as you're using php supported webserver, it should be working. If there's database error, mean you have missed to change the configuration from sample's ip to your personal ip. That's why it's telling you that u're failed to connect ur database with your shoutbox. Usually, if u take it from example, u can check the configuration at config.inc.php or something name config...change your personal username and password, and remember..change the dir. of your database location, usually shoutbox is save their database into notepad (e.g. shout.txt) to work as their database in stead of using complex 1 (mysql database).

This is the only way I can tell as I'm not so sure where's da real error there.

Another clue, if the shoutbox that you're using is using mysql database to record all the messages. then probably u have missed out the step to change the database connect with ur php shoutbox. it known as mysql_connect..hard to explain it all..but if u see any .db files, then i suggest you to change a simple shoutbox (search in website) as you're now totally blank with programming..


Good Luck,

where r u studying?
