Test environment for nuBuilder

[pmjd]

Try the instructions on this site for finding which programs/services could be using port 80, so you can stop it and get xampp running Apache

Hi Kev1n.
Many thanks for the referral to 000webhost. They seem very reasonable.

I followed the Nubuilder youtube video on installing on Bluehost, and got most of the way with some radical guessing. However, the "bingo" moment at the end of Copley's video eludes me.

Have you done a nuBuilder install on 000webhost? Did it work. Any advice?
regards

Where exactly are you stuck?
Did you upload the files, create a database and modify nuconfig.php?

Yes, I just registered an account and successfully installed nuBuilder.

Maybe https://www.000webhost.com/ ?

I have setup nuBuilder on 000webhost, setup a database, modified nuconfig.PHP. However, when I run the website I get
Connection failed: SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002] Connection refused
I have looked on both 000webhost and nuBuilder forums without much success. Any suggestions?

Use localhost in nuconfig.php instead of the IP address:

Code: Select all

$nuConfigDBHost	= "localhost";

Eureka! Localhost, spotting blank at start of db password, and restarting browser after changes combined to get me my Bingo moment. Now to go off and learn the nuBuilder syntax.
I am very grateful for your help.

I am keen to test nuBuilder forte before I commit to purchasing a website. Are you aware of any try before you buy sites for nuBuilder, similar to the Knack offering

Base not free but I have found InMotion very good they have a help desk chat option that is really really good.

Before you buy I would recommend you check that you can have unlimited subdomains AND you have cPanel. If that the case you can set up an infinite number of nuBuilder apps. (subject to disk space). In reality it means that every additional nuBuilder application after the first one is free up to the point whereby you hit the disk space limit.

With cPanel you have
Complete control and access to the mysql database
Ability to create subdomains easily
Ability to set permissions to the mysql database and create users..

This is my notes on installation of Nubuilder on cPanel - any host you get that has cPanel it should be the same. And I worked this out from Steven's the bluehost video.

I've tried setting this up with bluehost.com and can't get it to work. Are these settings and instructions still good? The version on Gethub looks the same at 4.5. The url sub domain comes up with a blank screen and I don't get the login. Then it times out. There is a port setting in the nuconfig.php file that's not shown in the video or instructions. Wondering if that's the issue. Thanks.

Are there error logs ?

databs1234 - Yes I believe those instructions will still work although I haven't done an install since 2021
