dear
I put all the informations needed so at the end I came up with " couldn't creat connection"

Make sure that your database server accepts remote connections. This is required for the application to run.

If the server accepts remote connections and it is still not working, try connecting with the IP address of the server in the 'Database Server' textbox, instead of the domain name.

[David]

Yes, and ask your host about remote connections. They will definitely know the answer.

[addanah]

can any one tell me how can I get the ip off the database?

[James]

IF it is localhost in your config.php then just use the server ip.

[addanah]

thank you james
Iwill try now

[addanah]

it didn't work!!!

[James]

This a cpanel host?

[David]

Feel free to PM me your database settings and I will test it myself.

[addanah]

what to do after the connection successful ?

[Radu]

After you managed to connect to the database server you have to select the correct database where you have PHPLD, then the PLD_LINK table will be selected by default and the ID and URL fields will be matched automatically. After this, click the 'Analyze Selected Table' button. You will see the links from that table into the 'Current Progress' table.

Then you will use the 'Settings' panel to customize the way screenshots will look. You have many options available in that panel, but you can leave them with the default values for the moment. All the options from this Settings panel will display a tooltip with more details when you have the mouse cursor over them.

Optionally, you can enter FTP data if you want the thumbnails uploaded on the server. You have a 'Test Connection' button to check if the data are correct.

After all the above you can select Start and the application will generate screenshots off the links in the folder specified in the Settings area.

This is all you have to do, I hope everything is more clear now.

[addanah]

should I upload the screenshots folder to my directory folder?

[David]

IN the ftp settings this you can specify the folder you want to upload using the application. If you did not do this, you could also do it manually.

[addanah]

when I connectted to the database and I uploaded what I did I found thumbnail pics. in the main folder not in the images folder , also the snapshots not found in the main page of the directory

can any body explain more and tells us where to put the cood?

[Radu]

In the FTP Settings section of the application you have a Folder option. You have to enter the folder from your server where you want to images to be uploaded.

Probably it is 'public_html/images' or 'public_html/images/screenshots'.
