I just installed PHPNuke and tried to start a database and MySQL. When i try to goto admin.php it states: There seems to be a problem with the MySQL server, sorry for the inconvenience. We should be back shortly Ive named the DB and added me as a user and then associated to DB, but there is this string on my page: Connection Strings Perl $dbh = DBI->connect("DBI:mysql:sfcmert_css:localhost","sfcmert_sfcmert","<PASSWORD HERE>"); PHP $dbh=mysql_connect ("localhost", "sfcmert_sfcmert", "<PASSWORD HERE>") or die ('I cannot connect to the database because: ' . mysql_error()); mysql_select_db ("sfcmert_css"); Can someone assist me in getting this fixed, THANKS!
