By i am not a programmer on

hi,

I have uploaded my drupal site to my host.
I have set up a server and used phpmyadmin to import the .sql file.
Logging on I read:

Site off-line

The site is currently not available due to technical problems.

Is there an obvious solution to this?

Thanks in advance for any advice, help.

Hi

please read http://drupal.org/getting-started/install and how to set up the database part. if you having problems i can help you from there.

i think your problem is related to settings.php in files/default. check that you have set the correct values for

$db_url = 'mysql://username:password@localhost/databasename';

I've had a go at changing the code in the settings.php file.
I don't think I'm filling in the password@localhost correctly.
Do I insert the server code: (my_password)@(server addressi.e 208.334.etc )

Thanks again,

Find the line

$db_url = 'mysql://username:password@localhost/databasename';

let says my
username : wydle
password : 1234567drupal
host : localhost
databasename : drupal_test

then the line shud be

$db_url = 'mysql://wydle:1234567drupal@localhost/drupal_test';
