Integramod installation taught me I'm dumb

PostAuthor: D34D » Thu Mar 13, 2008 6:41 pm

Could not connect to database. This is when I'm trying to install. I know I got the ftp info right, and I uploaded all the files and whatnot according to the information I found in these forums, but I must be doing something wrong. I just can't put my finger on it. Frustration has mounted extensively. I've been searching this forum looking for a solution, but so far to no avail. (Probably mostly due to my own incompetence.) Any assistance anyone could offer would be most appreciated. I would totally offer a stack of cash to whomever could alleviate my problem, unfortunately, I am extremely broke.

Would you settle for imaginary jellybeans? I have a lot of those.

I sent you a private message. If you need a hand installing, simply reply to the PM I sent.

Have a great day/night

Could not connect to database


I'd guess the path to the data base or a type-O, check config.php from the php install make sure the info matches what your try to install IM too.

I have just tried 3 times for this person and have gotten the same thing every single time.

At first, I had to set all permissions. They were default permissions, not set to install. I have tried mysql3 mysql4/5 and still nothing. Can not connect to the database.

Rechecked all permissions and I didnt miss any at all. Double checked info user gave me and it is all correct. Im guessing this is a free host. and with that is going to come trouble. I had this issue the other day with a guy as well and once he switched hosts, ironically enough the install went right in.

Im going to try again. Maybe I missed something but the chances of that are slim to absolutely none.

The problem (as you may have noticed by now) is solved, much thanks to MWE_001. I'd like to thank, also, everyone who contributed to finding a solution. Integramod is awesome.

No probs for the help, but as I replied in the pms, I went back and your fresh install has been deleted.

Meh. The universe hates me, what can I say? I'm sure I'll get it figured out someday.
