cs323232 Posted September 17, 2005 Posted September 17, 2005 Hi. Im having trouble installing php.. When I goto filemanger>public_html then phpbb>install.php, I goto the "area" but when I put my username for the db I created on MSQL, and password, it doesnt install? I allready opened a ticket, but they couldnt help me because they dont "provide developer level support'. And said to ask in the forums. Which I understand. Any help would be appreciated.. Thank you.

TCH-Rob Posted September 17, 2005 Posted September 17, 2005 How are you inputting your username? Is it just "username" or "cpanelname_username"? It must be the latter. The same goes for the database name, it should be "cpanelname_dbname". Welcome to the forums. Quote
TCH-Don Posted September 17, 2005 Posted September 17, 2005 Welcome to the forum If you are installing phpbb yourself Be sure that in MySql you 1 - created the database 2 - created a user 3 -added the user to the database (go back to MySql and find the Add user select the user and database, and then Add user to database) Then to connect to the database in a script use: host: localhost database: yourCpanelName_databaseName user: yourCpanelName_databaseUser password: mypassword * Note password is just as the password, do not add the CpanelName to it.

cs323232 Posted September 17, 2005 Author Posted September 17, 2005 lol.. Im really lost. After creating a database in mysql goto phpbb folder then to install right? I did that, then I get to the php screen,(where it says start install at the bottom) and fill in the required info it says "password is not the same". Btw, isnt there a default db allready created?

GroovyFish Posted September 17, 2005 Posted September 17, 2005 Good Morning! When you created the database, did you also create a user and add the user to the database? If not, re-read TCH-Don's post above. He outlines all the steps you need to follow when setting up a database, and how to enter that information when you install. Quote
