Confirming the process detailed works a treat... thanks for that

.C

After repeadetly trying this, I'm still stuck on "Database connection failed due to Unknown database 'eveprofit'"

The DB is located in the same folder as the bigdump file, so I honestly don't understand why it just wont work :o

Could you guys paste the bigdump php code where it has all of the information? (user/password/name)

I have:
/ Database configuration

$db_server = 'localhost';
$db_name = 'eveprofit';
$db_username = 'myuser';
$db_password = 'mypass';

// Other settings (optional)

$filename = ''; // Specify the dump filename to suppress the file selection dialog


^ you could try specifying the file name if everything else doesn't work
the file in my www folder is eveprofit.sql
you could also try to use PHPMyAdmin's import function on the eveprofit.sql file
it'll probably fail, but then try bigdump again

// Database configuration

$db_server = 'localhost';
$db_name = 'eveprofit';
$db_username = 'Onyth';
$db_password = 'daan';

// Other settings (optional)

$filename = ''; //


Already tried importing it, didn't work :p 'only' 32x or so too big :p

already tried the .sql variation; Tried moving both files to a different map (dump). This gives the same result. Tried it on my laptop in the meanwhile, gives same result.

Is there anything I might've forgotten to do? Like import something somewhere or so? Something totally logical to you, but unknown (or so) to me?

Try using PHPMyAdmin to manually create an 'eveprofit' database and leave it blank, and then try another time?

Are you suggesting that screenshots can never be faked? Or are you suggesting that a mere trillion ISK or two isn't worth the effort of saving a web page from an API-reading site and adjusting the HTML to make the web page say what you want it to say?

Wouldn't the effort of installing this software be far greater than writing up an HTML page containing the information you want?

Well, you are instructing people in the art of setting up software that uses PHP and MySQL. Thus, you are the hand of Satan.

No, quite the contrary: hence my pejorative construction, scare quotes and all: putative "evidence".



I'm probably not a good judge of what hoops people will jump through for a pittance.

I don't have a lot of need for fake screenshots, so I have not tested which method is less effort. I'd guess it might depend on whether one finds it easier to install and use software, or to learn to read HTML.

Also, and I'm just spitballin' here, I would guess that a couple of screenshots might be quicker to fake using direct editing of HTML, but if one wants to maintain an internally-consistent thread of fake screenshots over a period of time, having a software tool to keep track of it all might help.

So maybe it boils down to whether the would-be scammer is engaged in a quick grab or a longer con?

I couldn't make up my mind between two replies; so take your pick:

1. Ad hominem already?!


2. I forget, is politics a quick grab or a longer con?
