Re: On install, can't create admin account

[Elliken]

I get a similar problem, except that I get this message:
"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".

And this is during the installer, at 80 %

Elliken,

Welcome to SMF.

However...

-- do not post a question in a topic when your issue is actually different.
-- do not post a question in a topic which has been marked as solved.
-- be wary of posting (and generally do not) to a topic which is  9 years old.
-- please provide us with the actual information about your attempt to install?

smf version that you are attempting to install? Who is your host   Did you actually use the correct database details (database name, port, db username, password?)

I'm trying to install 2.0.10.
My host is hxxp:one.com [nonactive], and everything else is ok, but I'm stuck on step 6 in the installer.

I'll be more careful next time I post a question

If you got through 80% of the install, there's nothing wrong with your database credentials.  Sounds like a server glitch that disconnected the install from the database.  Does it happen at the same point every time?
