SADIQIBRA:
Please brothers, i followed the installation Guides, but at the Installation process i encounter a problem! i tried to setup Install.php and in the Process, they ask me to create a new Database which i did and i note down the Username, Database name and also my Password, but in the last Box Table Prefix, i don't really know what to put there so i just write a four Letter world "meme" This was the Error i Keep Getting

--- Quote ---Critical Error!
Cannot connect to the database server with the supplied data.

If you are not sure about what to type in, please contact your host.
Access denied for user 'baraq'@'localhost' (using password: YES)
--- End quote ---

Please what is the Problem????

K@:
When you entered the database name, did you put "meme_" in front of it?

(I edited the topic title, because caps-lock is regarded as SHOUTING and is considered to be VERY rude) ;)

CapadY:
Table prefix doesn't matter, by default its smf_ but meme is also fine. it's preferred to make it meme_ so you can see where the prefix end and the table name starts.
Prefix is the first part of the tablename, so you'll get smf_members or mememembers or meme_members ;)


The error you get has to do with database connection. This means the databasename, database username or database password you entered was wrong.

K@:
Agreed.

I wondered about the db name, which is why I asked.

Ta, mate! ;)
