Did you give that user access to your database? In most cPanel setups you can create the user just fine but you need to say that the user has access to the relevant database in order for it to work out.

[TriX]

Well, Actually I don't understood What you're Talking about, but I Wrote The Username.

[Arantor]

Talk me through exactly what you did in cPanel - you made a database user for your site, right?

[TriX]

Yeah, I Made Database in MySql. Where It Asked me Following Things:

MySQL database name:

MySQL user name:

Password for MySQL user:

Enter password again:


& Down There Was Written Create Database, I Clicked on it. Than My Database Was Created. It Showed me MySQL DatabaseMySQL UserMySQL Host.

I Went on File Manager, Uploaded SMF Files, Clicked on Install & At the 3rd Step Wrote Everything it Asked me after Pressing Continue It Showed me the Error That i've Reported up There.

So you made a database in MySQL, that's the first step.

In cPanel you then have to have a user - which I think you have done too.

The next step is to tell MySQL that the user you made can access the database you made... it should be in cPanel to do this.

[TriX]

I did Everything that you've Typed & That MySQL was in Cpanel, Clicked on it Made Database, Made No Mistake While pasting That Username, host, Database. But Still Got Error. That's Suprising :/

[Arantor]

So you made the database, which is good. The step you didn't do, while in cPanel, was to attach the user to the database - it's the next section down the Databases page in cPanel...

[TriX]

I don't See anything like Attach user to the database, Can you Explain it More Briefly, Btw I'm Using 000webhost.

[Arantor]

Ugh, I haven't used 000webhost in years because I learned how terrible they are at hosting Not sure how to do it in their strange configuration panel any more, sorry (and I'm not impressed that they managed to leak some of my account details last time they were hacked)

[TriX]

Can you Tell anyother hosting Sites Where I Can Easily Install SMF Files, So I Can Check them out.
I don't need anything from or Concerning 000webhost, Just Need a Forum of SMF & That's it.

Combined with the ridiculous thread title I'm surprised you've had any responses so far.

What are you using for $db_server in Settings.php?

[TriX]

$db_server = 'mysql11.000webhost.com


That's What I've found there.

SMF Hero is a post count based membergroup, it does not reflect the ability of any individual to provide support.

Disrespectful comments like the one I have quoted will not help your cause.  Everyone here needs help and the volunteers here do their best to answer as promptly as possible, but vague topic titles are less likely to be prioritised, and there are fewer people online at weekends, so you will have to be patient.
