ok, so I created a new sql database and username in my hostgator account

I then downloaded the bluemedialayer fix for hostgator

I extracted the files, edited the config-sample file to include my sql database info

I then upload the files (using binary mode) to the root directory of my hostgator account

I go to my domainname.com but still got nothing.

My patience is wearing thin here....this is freakin so not easy!

I need help...nothing is working

About to pull my hair out, having the SAME problem!

Make sure you create a new database and do a complete install.

You won't be able to use the old database with the BlueLayerMedia fix.

You can also grab the BlueLayerMedia complete Prosper202 package http://blog.bluelayermedia.com/prosper202-complete-install-package-blm-version.html and do a complete install. It works great.

Make sure you use a fresh database and you can follow my install instructions here:

That should get you fixed up.

Thanks,

Derek

I followed Derek's steps, modified the config file in Dreamweaver, ran the FTP, and still got this message again:

Warning: require_once(/home/tomstrac/public_html/202-config/functions.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/tomstrac/public_html/prosper202_1.3.2/index.php on line 7

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/home/tomstrac/public_html/202-config/functions.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/tomstrac/public_html/prosper202_1.3.2/index.php on line 7

I am running out of hours for this SIMPLE Install!

Thanks a million Stangracer!

I was having the same trouble with the "simple" install and finally found this post. I just completely removed the database and user and all prosper files then started from scratch with stangracer's version. I was stumped for second about having to manually creat the 202-config.php file but 202-config-sample.php made it simple. Was'nt sure if the Hostgator shared hosting would work with prosper but all's great now.

Thanks.

Bluelayer has changed their link, it can now be found here:

THanks! I managed to get HostGator to get the install done, working with 6 different techs, and they now have a protocol to do so.

Can you explain how you did it tomjames?

I keep running into the same error, it says:

"The 'partitioning' feature is disabled; you need MySQL built with '--with-partition' to have it working"

Anyone have any ideas what I need to change?

I followed the exact protocol found at bluelayer and this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y0xyyQJuG2E, which makes me think that it's something recent. Thanks!

All I can tell you is that I use a reseller account at Hostgator, and I kept getting different tech guys to help me. The last one got it working, his name was Larry (one of a few named Larry). He said that he kept a log of what he hads done, and that it was now in their files/guides for the tech guys to use. I wrote to the suppoprt desk, and told them how much trouble I had, how the one guy, Larry had helped, and that I hoped that they would be sure to make the solution readily available. Sorry if that does not help much, but that is what I did.

I am having the same issue. I was told that self hoster tracking 202 need to run on a dedicated server or VPS.

Try going here: http://support.hostgator.com/articles/getting-started/general-help/install-prosper202. Worked for me.
