vbp6us Posted April 17, 2003 Share Posted April 17, 2003 Hi, I have mysql on my linux box and it works fine. It starts and eveerything. Im using webmin and there is a button which says \"create new table\". Then it asks for table, initial table then it asks for width and what it is, ie. text, int etc. . . Now when im trying to install my invisionboard, it asks for SQL Host : localhost (localhost is usually sufficient) SQL Database Name: test2 SQL Username: root SQL Password: ********* SQL Table Prefix(You can leave this blank): Then i fill out the administration information for the board and hit proceed and get: The following errors must be rectified before continuing! Please go back and try again! Could not create a mySQL connection, please check the SQL values entered Why is it not connecting?? It\'s running too. I checked through webmin AND /etc/init.d/mysql status running So...what am i doing wrong?? EDIT: I just found this at the top of the error page: I just saw this at the top of the sm_install error page: Warning: Access denied for user: \'root@localhost\' (Using password: YES) in /srv/www/htdocs/forums/sm_install.php on line 395 Warning: MySQL Connection Failed: Access denied for user: \'root@localhost\' (Using password: YES) in /srv/www/htdocs/forums/sm_install.php on line 395 what does that mean? My root password is right and root is the top level user that can do anything so whats the deal?? Thanks.

effigy Posted April 18, 2003 Share Posted April 18, 2003 be sure you didn\'t have capslock on... try the password on the command line and make sure it works. what is on line 395? mysql_connect?
