Full Version: MySQL Database won't work
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
I'm not sure why, but whenever I try to create a MySQL database, it dissapears as soon as I put its details into the Installer, and then the installer tells me the details are wrong. Does anybody know why it's doing this?

Any help is appreciated - I have Skype if needed.

Thanks, Tom
What error message do you get?

None? Your first post says something different:

Error
There seems to be one or more errors with the database configuration information that you supplied:

Could not connect to the database server at 'localhost' with the supplied username and password. Are you sure the hostname and user details are correct?
Once the above are corrected, continue with the installation.
It seems you are putting wrong details then. Try to check your databases and user name and password again, and provide all previleges, and try again, it should work.
