I am really embarrassed to post this after reading what others have written - most of which goes right over my head.
I uploaded everything to my website. I felt like I had done things correctly but
I tried to access the db files by putting the path to the "login.php" file. I also tried the "inidex.php" file. In both cases I received the dreaded 500 or 505 or whatever it is. Then I tried the demo site and got this error message but I don't know what it means - something about expecting a comma or semi colon at line 24 /incluce/events.php.
I do not know db or php [which is a huge compliment to the creators of this program that I even got to where I am now].
So I don't know where to start to figure out what is wrong. Am I trying to start off with the wrong page?
What page should I start with?
