I'm trying to install MyBBoard, but in thw wizard i walways receive an error message that says:
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.
My configuration is right, but for the Wizard it isn't.
So....this is my configuration
Database Engine : MySQL
Database Host: localhost
Database Username: 29717
Database Password: ************
Database Name: 29717
Table Prefix: mybb_
PLEASE HELP ME......I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have never come across errors with the wizard before, so I recommend you to check each and every one of those details again. Check that you are also typing your password in the correct case (not all uppercase, for example).
I'm not sure if this may be the problem, but does MySQL actually let you use all numbers for the username and database name?
If you are using shared hosting on cpanel, are you neglecting cpanelusername_ as a prefix for the dbname and the dbusername?
I suspect that the database name is different than what you have written.
Or, the database username is wrong.
Just my 2 cents.
maybe you should input the database name and username as this:
User: cpanelusername_29717
DBname: cpanelusername_29717
that way you should be able to connect to the database and install the forum.
How do you know he has Cpanel?
guessing.... friend of mine had that error before and thats how i told him to fix it, and it worked.
if he doesn't have cpanel, then i guess that method won't work...
Oh, ok.
Heloo....after I Configurate....they sent me a index.php....so? next?
