Hey there, big thanks for this! Works fine for me up until step 5, I'm afraid I don't know how to configure (nor how to install) that file.

I went to the site, downloaded the .zip file. Unzipped it, but then what? How do you install that file? As it shows up as a .php file for me, where did I go wrong? :p

Pretentious much?

Bashed the auditors and refused to comply with requests - Check.

Created a bond for the purpose of rep-grinding and admit to it - Check

Bash others on MD while boasting you are the king of trade - Check

Flaunt your (still minor) achievements like it's a foot-long **** - Check



Yeah, lots of unappreciated value there.

Hate? Hardly.

Thanks for the reply, the problem is this now :p

Database connection failed due to Access denied for user 'Daan'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

I editted the .php file to my username and password I made earlier

Database connection failed due to No database selected

That's what I get when I go to http://localhost/bigdump.php


$db_username = 'Daan';
$db_password = 'daan';

I hope that's what you need/ment? or?

I'm terribly sorry... but now it says: Database connection failed due to Unknown database 'eveprofit'

Both the bigdump.php aswel as the eveprofit.sql are in this folder: C:\wamp\www

And It still gives the same error :s

eveprofits didn't work either.

Database configuration

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

// Other settings (optional)

$filename = ''; //



that undefined error, I don't have a clue what that one is about, it was there when I opened it for the first time so...

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

.C

I-¦m stuck in the same place.

// 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?

Haven't you saved would-be scammers hours of headaches, too? Sometimes people post screenshots of this and other API-reading applications as putative "evidence" of their trading or manufacturing activities.

Having the application and data under your direct control means that you can manipulate the data directly to create whatever screenshots you want at any time, right? I.e., without needing to do the actual trading or manufacturing?

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?
