As I said, it's the VALUES of the settings, not the config.php code. The message_die() error means either the username/password combination is wrong or that username does not have access permission to that database.

oooo how do i add permision then?!

Go into cpanel and then MySQL Databases. You should see a User and Database dropdown block. Select the username and database and then click Add User To Database.

Hello.

Thanks for the wonderful help to getting started with phpNuke. It helped me a lot.

I followed everything as described. And when I go to the site, it says :
"There seems to be a problem with the MySQL server, sorry for the inconvenience.

We should be back shortly."

Is that something I have done wrong, or it is just an fault from those who are hosting the site?

Thanks for the answer in advance.

That would imply that you are not connectiong with the MySQL server. See if this posts helps [ Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login! ]

Hmm...

config.php is like that :

$dbhost = "localhost";
$dbuname = "chessfo_jamil";
$dbpass = "*****";
$dbname = "chessfo_nuke";
$prefix = "nuke";
$user_prefix = "nuke";
$dbtype = "MySQL";
$sitekey = "SdFk*fa28367-dm56w69.3a2fDS+e9";
$gfx_chk = 7;
$subscription_url = "";

Should I change "localhost"?

Posted: Sun Jun 27, 2004 4:44 pm

I can't tell if those connection parameters are correct. Only you can. Did you create the tables in the database?

Posted: Sun Jun 27, 2004 4:53 pm

Yes I did. "chessfo_" wsa there from before, and I just added the username, dbnam.

And I have granted the user privileges too.

I think have two databases. But what is the site name the alternative for the "localhostname"?

Posted: Sun Jun 27, 2004 5:13 pm

I have solved the problem. "localhost" disn't work. I had to write the correct hostname.

Thanks for all the help.

Posted: Sun Jun 27, 2004 5:17 pm

Great! Most sites allow and actually require localhost.

Posted: Sun Jun 27, 2004 5:33 pm

But now I have the problem with Admin login. Is there any default username and password?

Posted: Sun Jun 27, 2004 5:38 pm

You have to create the super user.

I have got it working. Smile
