Installation problem (Can't connect to the database)

Tuesday 04 December 2007 3:23:28 am

Hey m8

i have some installation problems... running ezpublish-3.10.0-gpl.zip

ran the installation and it stopped when i filled out the information for the database connection...

i am currently running PHP Version 4.4.7 on IIS and mysql 5.0 on my home computer

i gave the installation the root access, but no result and i created a new database for root and granted full access ...

[ grant all on ezpublish.* to root@localhost identified by 'password'; ]

i created a new user for the database server (global) and with full access and gave the installation the connection information, but it keeps saying:

"The database would not accept the connection, please review your settings and try again. "

so i figured maybe the windows firewall is blocking so i gave it tcp access (manually), but no result...

so here i am ;) anyone got any tips?

or maybe someone can tell me which file i can hack so i can do a work-around in the .php file myself..... so i can post the error here so you can update the "bug" in the CMS.....

/thx

you also might try root@127.0.0.1 instead of localhost. If that works it might point you to a problem with the mysql.sock.

Hi,

I had the same problem and used the following:

mysql> SET PASSWORD FOR 'some_user'@'some_host' = OLD_PASSWORD('newpwd');
