Thanks Miz,

I've loaded this up and it looks very promising!

But i am getting one error when try to load vB!
It says And this is probably because in WinMySQL it didnt ask me to create a u/name and p/word, thus there is no server connection, i guess.

What can i try?

BTW, it also says driver 3.51 not found. :surprised:

I'd reccomend xammp over this :)

HI Dean,

I'll give that a go, in an effort to get vB running agian on my pc.

I really dont know why its proving so difficult for me, especially since i had Teck's original method runnning under XPpro sp1. (now running sp2)

xammp is so easy. You literally download and then run some batch files and you're good to go :)

Hi Dean,

Im about to give it ago right now, but have spent the last few hours trying to figure out why i can access the server. i have confirmed that it running, but cant get a connection to it!

Even disabled Zone Alarm and Windows Firewall to ensure that ports are not blocked!

BUT my fear is that even after trying XAMMP that i will hit the same wall!

its says the same here and its working perfect i guss that the reason its not working is that you didnt changed mysql password

try this (from dos) :
Add a password to the MySQL 'root' account. Initially, that password is not set.
<drive:>\www\mysql\bin> mysqladmin -u root password new-password-here

Hi Miz and Dean,

When i run <drive:>\www\mysql\bin> mysqladmin -u root password new-password

so that the username is "root" and the password is "password"

then it gave me a heap of data ie
mysql Ver12.22 Distrib 4.0.20a, for Win95/98 (i32)
etc etc etc


But i still cant instal vB with the same vB error
im starting to pull my hair out!

i think like that :

before you install vbb, login to your data base with phpmyadmin create db for vbb
and later on edit config.php file...
and then try to install it again

miz,
Is Add to Path:
<drive:>\www\Apache2\bin;<drive:>\www\mysql\bin;<d rive:>\www\perl\bin;<drive:>\www\php\dlls meant to be all on one line??? Because i have entered each one individually.

thanks
