Hello. I built my site with Indexhibit. After trying to create clean URLs for my site something has gone wrong and now when i visit the web address: www.chrischudleigh.com i get an error message that says "Database is not installed." I'm not sure what to do and could really do with some help getting up and running again!

i was following these instructions to create clean urls for my project pages : http://www.indexhibit.org/tutorial/how-to-get-clean-urls/ however it didn't work. when i tried to replace the original htaccess file and original defaults.php file something has gone wrong. Now when you type in my web address you get a line of text that says "database Is Not Installed."

i've been using cyber duck - cssedit - and text edit. But can't see where i've gone wrong! perhaps i've deleted a file without knowing or saved the file wrong?

but to my knowledge everything is how it originally was.

did you make the database and imported the .sql?

I download the templates and files from indexhibit which is a free web portfolio package. All the files were already there, giving me the ability to customise from the basic template. The only files i have altered are index.php - style.css - htaccess & defults.php

the site was running fine up until i tried altering the htaccess & defults.php files.

i managed to solve the problem. I had deleted a folder with all my database connection info, just had to reinstall the file and up write the info back in. Thanks for the help anyway smile.gif
