PHP_PhREEEk Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 Creating the MySQL user and pass for the database is a separate function completely outside of phpBB, has nothing to do with phpBB. So, if you could answer the question as to how your server is setup, we might be able to walk you through setting up the DB user...

freakstyle Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 try db username : root w/o any password mysql db's are set up with that as a default until you change it. ( unless a different one was created on install ) also , you most likely have an app on your server called phpMyAdmin, this is where you can make edits to your mysql db if you don't want to use command line or a gui like sql yog. www.phpmyadmin.net/ good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
