Hope you guys can help a n00b, although I just got my MCSA. I have a server at my home network behind a router/switch. It's running Server2000 SP4. IIS is installed from the CD itself. I already have an ftp running for practice. That went well. I found phpbb 2.0.8 and downloaded it. I didn't install it at first. I also got MySQL 4.0.18 and Control Center 0.9.4. Those 2 installed ok. So did the ODBC driver from their website. I made a database named forumdb but didn't add anything to it. I also made sure it was connected. Then I installed Php 4.3.5 and phpMyAdmin 2.5.6. That seemed to go well. I added them to my web folder that IIS points to. I also added index.php to the Documents area under Default Webpage Properties. It is just under the top doc Default.htm. All of these installs I did from what each had recommended on their own website. Now I come to phpbb. Everything went in ok. Got to the "Welcome to PHPBB 2 Installation" through IE on the server itself. I put in the values I thought were correct but I get the following error:
Warning: mysql_connect(): Access denied for user: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' (Using password: YES) in F:\Website Home\phpbb2\db\mysql4.php on line 48 Warning: mysql_error(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in F:\Website Home\phpbb2\db\mysql4.php on line 330 Warning: mysql_errno(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in F:\Website Home\phpbb2\db\mysql4.php on line 331 phpBB : Critical Error Could not connect to the database Not sure what I'm doing wrong. I'm assuming a logon problem. I have tried various users from all 3 programs along with their passwords but still get the same error. Plus I had Dreamweaver MX installed and I couldn't change the phpbb config file to 666. I uninstalled DW and made .php be associated with notepad and the attribute for the file is not "read only". But I still can't get the right click menu that displays like on their flash tutorial though. CHMOD is not there. I hope that isn't the problem. What I also need to know is where to find the information to enter in each line of the PHPBB Install page. DSN: I tried "localhost" and "DC-1" and the server's IP. None worked. The database name is the one I made in MySQL. It is connected presently. Should it be turned off? The main problem seems to be that I don't know where to find the database user and password listed to add it to the form. Any other info you need to help find an answer I would be glad to post. Hope you guys can help. Thanks in advance. Pete Hinkley -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
