Good guide, but I got a problem when entering the Database name and Database username already in the installation (password incorrect.) I believe it's because my database name is "steamania_a" and username "steamania_mike"
I tried adding steamania_phpbb for both and using the "a" and "mike" too, but none of it worked. What do I do? I don't know how to change "steamania_a" and "steamania_mike" to "steamania_phpbb" or create a new username. |

I really need help. I am brand new to this, and I really want to learn how to do stuff like this, but I am stumped and can not for the life of me figure out what's wrong...
Here's my info, and my error that keeps coming up. FTP address: alxclan.zxq.net FTP username: alxclan_zxq Database Name alxclan_zxq_phpbb User Name 2601_phpbb and here's what I'm putting into the install area: _____________________________________________ Database Type: MySQL with MySQULi... Database Server hostname: localhost Database Server Port: 21 Database Name: alxclan_zxq_phpbb Database Username: alxclan_zxq_phpbb Database Password: ***** Prefix for tables in database: phpbb_ _____________________________________________ This is the error I keep getting: Could not connect to the database, see error message below. Can't connect to MySQL server on 'mysql.hosting.zymic.com' (111) For my DB name and username, I have tried every single combination of everything I can think of, nothing works. Do I not have the right account? It's the basic free one... Don't know if that matters. I've been at this for four hours and have tried reinstalling everything, making my domain name shorter, you name it. Sitting here looking at it now, please don't tell me that because i have the "zxq" in my Database name, it makes it 17 characters, and THAT'S why it isn't working... I'll cry. Lol. But seriously. I will.

I too have a problem (by the way, this is by far the most helpful tutorial I have seen - and I have seen a LOT these past few days!!).
 First of all, I am not trying to set a phpBB forum, per se, I am using a variation that is in accordance with a popular web game, Tribal Wars. the variation is called DSphpBB and I have downloaded it from the appropriate site.  2 small problems with that. 1, the config.php file was initially empty and during installation I was directed to download the phpBB one, which completed the installation - don't know if this responsible for the end outcome. 2. it didn't allow to upload 7 files, 6 were small mp3's (sound signals probably) and the 7th was a file with an .rb extension (don't ask what it does, I am totally new to this and the only thing that comes close is server "rollback", which happens in Tribal Wars, a bit rarely but it does). I wasn't prompted at any point in the procedure that this file was missing or needed so I went on. the Database was created as desired (collation utf8-bin), no fields or other info specified as it would be done through the installation - and it was done! Connection was fine with it during the installation and the update.  To make a long story short, after the install procedure reached the last stage, I was asked to execute the database_update.php, which was where it was supposed to be) and to rename or delete the installation folder, which I first renamed and later deleted.  the problem is that I get a totally blank page when I try to access my site. Whatever combo I have tried (plain url, civforum.zxq.com, folder where all the goofies were supposed to be, civforum.zxq.com/twforum) I canot see anything, no admin panel, no options to proceed further, no board to access no nothing!  Is there any way out of this please?  Also, if I am to try and install again, should I delete the folder I made for this purpose and recreate it? This procedure NEEDS a specific folder to be present for the install to work, I am just asking if deleting this and recreating it is good enough way to re-install? And now Filezilla cannot connect to my website!! Can this be the reason: Bandwidth Usage: 205785 / 50000 mb?? |

Re the 16 character limit, I chose a 15 character site name before I realized this limit. I would edit the site name if I could, but can't find any way to do it... maybe it's not possible and I have to start a new site from scratch?
