I have uploaded my files (myBB) and gave write access to the needed files.
I have created a DB called db When I do the installation I now get the error of Could not connect to the database server at 'localhost' with the supplied username and password. Are you sure the hostname and user details are correct? what am I doing wrong ??? |

Your database and user names should both be mystical-pwi-something.

So your database is called mystical-pwi_db, that's fine.
Have you created a user? I'm off to bed now, go to the IRC if you still need help, it'll be easier than talking here anyway. swordz |

I am having a similar problem as Twisted. I uploaded all the files for phpBB3. I have created a database with the name horrorguard_db and a user by the name horrorguard_adm. I get to the install portion where it asks for the database info. I select the Mysql option for database type. The database hostname is set to localhost since that is what phpmyadmin tells me it is. I have entered the correct database name and correct username. I have checked the password about 3 times. I didn't set the port number since i didn't think i would need to. But every time i try to continue on with the install i get the error: Access denied for user 'horrorguard_adm'@'localhost' to database 'horrorguard_db'. Now I have no issues accessing the database with phpmyadmin and I am using the same password there. I can't think of what i might be doing wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Sorry for the poor formatting of my post. |

I am having trouble changing the permissions of my files and folders. When I click to edit the permissions, it says that the permission has been changed but when I run my test again, they still say unwriteable. I then go back and look at my files and my writeable box is still on unchecked. Any ideas?

And when I do, should I start over and re-install the forum? Will disabling safe mode even fix this issue? Thanks! |

QUOTE(Cazz @ Feb 1 2008, 11:48 PM) How to set-up forums for your website Pick the forum that best suits youThere are many more types of forums but those are the top 3 that I like to use depending on the type of site and look I want. Download the package, and make sure its a stable package not a beta one. Unzip the package and upload it to your site in a new directory called whatever you want (possible /forum/) Once you have finished uploading it all, you should go to your favorite internet browser and go to where you forum is (example.com/forum/) It should lead you to the installation part. These 3 forums come with explanations on what to fill out but I will have screenshots and a explanation from my own head up here soon. Questions are welcome. Hope my small guide was somewhat of help, probably not yet, but should be alot better when I start updating it with new and useful information. but how upload files because I can't do it please reply soon |

I want to set up a forum where customers can post their own photos probably with a link from our website. I'd also like them to be able to chat and set up posts but I have no idea how to go about it.
What advice can you give? What's my starting point? |
