Hi All

First time installing a forum and Mysql !

When I go to the Requirements Check page Supported DB is NONE

I hve installed 5.0.45 Mysql unning on a windows server 2003

I have downloaded and installed software called Navicat 8 for Mysql and I can login and work on a test database etc.

Anyone now what I am doing wrong

Thanks

Steve

Make sure the PHP database drivers are present and active.

Check the PHP readme/install for details on how to activate MySQL for PHP.

You could try WAMP, i'm not sure though as many people who have servers dislike it

currently i'm using mysql 4.1, but i think same 5.0
Have 2 step to create and grand permission for database + user

Step 1: Use phpMyAdmin
_Create user for database
_Create database

Step 2: Use Command Line to grand permission oft user for database
Start > Run > CMD

mysql -u root -p

Enter your password to access

After logon success, you enter this command to set (or reset) password of user (user usage database was created)

set password for 'user_of you'@'localhost'=old_password('password_you_want');

Next, effective for grand, using

flush privileges;

Finish, exit

exit;
