Having a small problem... I get the error when trying to install the board after entering all the necessary info.

Attempting to attach to database...


Warning: Access denied for user: 'root@127.0.0.1' (Using password: YES) in d:\apache\htdocs\forum\admin\db_mysql.php on line 38

Warning: Supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in d:\apache\htdocs\forum\admin\db_mysql.php on line 47

The database has failed to connect because you do not have permission to connect to the server. Please go back to the last step and ensure that you have entered all your login details correctly.

:ermm:
What do i do?
I used the username and password suggested
which was admin and admin.
I'm a n00b to all of this so I don't have a full understanding of everything.
Thanks

edit: I'm using Win 98 SE :o :eek:

They do work, granted I'm using the older version of apache.:)

I did have a small problem. I don't know if this fixed it or not(could have been blind luck;)) But...

underneath this:

#AddModule mod_ssl.c


I added this:

AddModule mod_php4.c




but in the version I'm using it didn't have that line. So i added both lines.
(This was in httpd.conf)

My problem was php files were prompting to download, instead of opening.

there is no need to add this module. php does it for you as ISAPI, as well as mysql. :)

cool. thanks for that info..:)


I am having a different prob. The forum is running, but everytime I try and access the admin directory. The browser give me an Error

"HTTP 500 - Internal server error
Internet Explorer "

Have any ideas on that? the mod panel works fine. :confused:

I have a problem.
When I add this line to my Apache CONF file:

"LoadModule php4_module C:/Network/Php/sapi/php4apache2.dll"

Apache cannot restart the service... I haved added all the others lines but when add this... cannot start service. I haved cheched the path and the files.

BTW: My system is WinXP pro.

Help :confused:

it should work fine. make sure you get the latest php CVS version.
search this thread for a link.

ok, I have another question. How do I run query's on the database this way? Because I tried it and it didn't work with the query.php file from FireFly.

Download PhpMyAdmin:)

Hello... Complete nub here...

I've gone throught the install proceedure 3 times. making sure that I've done each operation. On the 3rd time I wrote it all down on a check list... ;)

I cannot get the apache server to restart. I'm running windows XP pro.

You mention......
Where do I get this NEW file? From PHP?

I added # before this line and it started... I don't know why It worked but it did. On to the next steps. Wish me luck... lol
