installation and sqlite help

[Gregg]

Hello, first of all.. I really have no idea what I am doing.

my server is at my building, I was trying to setup a forum for it (this one looked really nicely done so I was giving it a try)

I got stuck on SQLite, the problem was the installation asks for the user / password.. All I can find is that SQLite does not support users, so I can't find how to set them up


my site is created by me, my server was built by me.. most of everything to do with it was me "winging it" so I do have full 100% access to this, it is ran on fedora 15 (linux)

I got SQLite installed via yum, it installed successfully.. after that I tried some of the test commands, it seemed to work.

not sure if it isn't good and I should try mySQL or something else, I have never touched anything to do with sql before.

Greatly appreciated if anyone can help me do this setup, thanks!


edit:

I also don't have ftp or anything setup, I did permissions pretty easily myself

you would get more support when using mysql as more people around here know more about it then sqlite.

Oh alright, thanks

10 minutes later:

wow -.-  I read a lot of people saying this was harder, but got it to work pretty easily with like 3 different tutorials on google lol! thanks for turning me away from SQLite


thanks for the help, probably would have messed with SQLite for like 2 days longer if someone didn't tell me to switch over..


I am now curious as how you get SQLite working when the SMF installer requires username / password and  SQLite doesn't support users







edit:

Table 'smf.smf_settings' doesn't exist

getting that error, can't get it to manually create the table, not really sure if I'm doing it correctly, any ideas?

I'm doing it all through terminal, got a few tutorials up but not working


edit2:

nvm figuring it out now, granted create permission and I see it was able to create settings..

SQL isn't as "crazy" as I thought it would be, pretty neat stuff
and yea mySQL is definitely a LOT easier than SQLite was
