Full Version: blank after entering db and pass of MySQL DB
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
I'm still trying to install MyBB. After entering db name db username and db password, I simply get a blank page.

Since I use db name, pass, etc. from a php script that works perfectly, the reason should not be wrong data.

Thank you.

Upload this copy of ./install/index.php, it'll output numbers after you submit the database details, what does it show??

I changed the “index.php”

URL: http://datest.de/spss_forum/install/index.php

I tried with different MySQL DBs. Some are on localhost, some on localhost:/tmp/mysql5.sock


[1] localhost:

still just blank. No numbers


[2] localhost:/tmp/mysql5.sock

produces only the following error message (I checked the password and db names, etc. from my php-script, that works perfectly. I even just copy and paste in order to avoid wrong spelling)


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:/tmp/mysql5.sock' 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.

Did you manage to fix this, or did you delete your files to try again...?
Judging by the error that was on the index you had an old version of PHP...
