The bloo.config.php file is very important as it stores the database connection information for your blog. bloo.config.php is not there out of the box with bloo; you need to rename the bloo.config_template.php file that comes with the bloo installation to bloo.config.php

A typical bloo.config.php file might look like this:

<?php

/* Important: this file should be edited and renamed as bloo.config.php */

   

/* Specify basic database connection information below */



/* the $_server parameter is usually "localhost", although it will

   sometimes be a server name. Check your webhosts mysql server 

   specification. If you're not sure what that means, just leave 

   this as "localhost" and you'll probably be ok */

$_server = "localhost";



/* put your database name, userid, and password here 

   (note: remove the "<", ">" characters) */ 

$_database = "my_bloo_db";

$_userId = "db_user";

$_password = "p4ssw0rd";



/* the name of the list table should go here. This table stores 

   the settings for your Bloo blog. Prior to installation, to specify 

   a table prefix different than "bloo_" for your tables, 

   change the name below to "<table prefix you desire>_list". */

$_settingsTable = "bloo_list";

?>

Notice that the tables in a bloo database have a dynamic prefix. By default the prefix is "bloo_", but if you set the $_settingsTable parameter to another table prefix (for instance, myblog_list), all the tables will be prefixed with that same prefix (in our example, "myblog_").
