 |
|
I've installed MySQL, and i can connect to the MySQL-server using MySQL-admin. But when i try to connect using a PHP-script or PHPbb, this message just show up:
phpBB : Critical Error
Could not connect to the database
It looks like PHP-scripts can't connect to the database, does anybody know how to fix this? |

Make sure you have made a MySQL database with phpMyAdmin first. TRUSTpunk has just updated his phpBB tutorial so take a look. It may help you straight away.

I hate PHPmyAdmin. I use MySQL-Admin instead. And yes, I've created an account and gave it full access to a database. But it still wont work. |

Did you follow TRUSTAbyss tutorials? If not it may be worth having a look and maybe using phpMyAdmin on this occasion.

Have you set the right database host & enabled php_mysql.dll etc?

cmxflash,
Have a look on cgi.log to have the detailed error message that was returned when PHP tried to connect to the database.
