MySQL (for forum) problem

ReKlipz · Post by **ReKlipz** » Sun Jul 18, 2004 1:35 pm

OK, my friend asked me to help him set up a forum for his server on the webspace u gave him

I'm trying to set up an IPB forum, but the only problem is that when ever i run sm_install.php, it gives me this error about the mysql db:

Warning: mysql_connect(): Access denied for user: 'swa@localhost' (Using password: YES) in /usr/www/swa/forums/sm_install.php on line 342

he doesn't want to tell me his password, so i let him do it himself, but i don't know if he has a database made or not, he never asked for one and it says available on request, so i told him to e-mail you and ask for one

we used the info it said on his Control Panel, but it didn't work, so i assume he doesn't have a database yet

any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you for your time

If he requested the free webspace within about the last year, it automatically comes with the MySQL database and the appropriate information is shown in the control panel under the Website tab.

You might also try changing the password to see if that helps.

The table prefix is something you choose.
