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.

I figured since I've been getting a lot of hate in these forums,

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

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

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

First, I would like to thank the developer for making eve profit open source. It is now the main API reader I use to manage my trades: http://sourceforge.net/projects/os-eveprofit/

I figured since I've been getting a lot of hate in these forums, I would contribute something of value (not that everything else I've contributed thus far wasn't of value, it was just mostly unappreciated).

Hopefully I saved you hours of headaches.

Enjoy, Bushar

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?

Sometimes people post screenshots of this and other API-reading applications as putative "evidence" of their trading or manufacturing activities.

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?

You can't even receive one 'thank you' on this forum, despite making a useful guide, because you are either
1) a scammer
2) a demon who helps scammers

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

Are you suggesting that screenshots can never be faked?

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?

You would make a really good politician.

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?

Exact same thing for me.

edit: I was able to get it to work by going inside every individual file and renaming every line that had eve-online to eveonline and it started showing everything correctly.

Then, it wouldn't import the conquerable stations without timing out so, I omitted everything in api_char and it's working fine and is saving all my data correctly. I'm sure this is a half-assed way of fixing it but being half-assed is something I do quite well.

For everyone having difficulties getting this to work. I uploaded my api_char.php file which SHOULD fix the timing out issue, just overwrite it with the one in your /www/wtrans folder. If you're too scared to download the file I can write a tutorial if needed. File: http://www.mediafire.com/?axk2pgtw39151n5 (it's just a .php file with a few omitted lines)

I'm confused as to WHY he deleted the entire OP with the tutorial? Why make a post and then delete it 2 hours later? Here is the original post for anyone who was interested in doing this: http://eve-search.com/thread/134919-1/page/1

Guide to installing it
Installing it is very very complicated for someone who is not computer savvy.

Short version: You need to have Apache (http server), PHP (web language) integrated into apache, MySQL for database management, and the ability to import the installation database into MySQL which is to be integrated with Apache

Sounds disgusting? that's because it is.
Here's a quick and easy way to do this:

1. http://www.wampserver.com/en/
Download Wamp Server. It is basically Apache, PHP, and MySQL together. Automatically configured.
This saves you about 7 hours.

2. Get a wamp server running and go to localhost on your browser.
If it works, congratulations, you're almost there

3. Import the files in the zip to the /www folder in your Wamp server folder
Go to localhost, your page will look messed up. That's because you don't have a database yet

4. Left click on wamp server, go to PHPmyadmin, and set up a username and password with full access rights that you will use to upload your database.

5. Importing the database into Wamp Server is impossible due to its size. Install the following:
http://www.ozerov.de/bigdump/
and configure it to upload 'eveprofit' (might be eveprofits, ill have to double check it)

Hopefully I saved you hours of headaches.

Enjoy,

Bushar

Original OP from EVE search (Thanks to Adamina):

Search for php.ini and increase max_execution_time.

There are two different php.ini files but i have no idea which one does what.
