SMF Version: SMF 1.1 RC3
Hi!
What a good job!
I've a problem with installation.
I've created a database on my host, hence I run install.php file to complete the installation. but when I fill every field with the correct data, the following message appears:
The installer was unable to access the "smf" database. With some hosts, you have to create the database in your administration panel before SMF can use it. Some also add prefixes - like your username - to your database names.

How can I solve the problem?
Thank u in advance
did you create a user to access the database?
Thanks 4 your quick reply! :)
I only have
HOST: sql.avianoland.com
USERID e DBNAME: xxxxxxxx
PASSWORD: ddddddd
that the host gave me the first time I created the database
so you have a:
host name
user name
db name
password

so you have a:
host name: sql.avianoland.com
user name: xxx
db name: xxx
password: yyy
User name and dbname are the same
perhaps the db name is prefixed with your user name?
username_dbname
I try it....fingerscross! :P
no... :( it doesn't work
I tried:
host: sql.avianoland.com
MYSQl username: xxx_xxx
MYSQL PW: yyy
but I got this message
Cannot connect to the MySQL database server with the supplied data.
If you are not sure about what to type in, please contact your host.
Access denied for user 'xxx@'111.22.333.444' (using password: YES)

What do u think? Could it be a host problem?
I don't know why, but now it works and installation 's complete!
Perhaps it was a little error of my hoster, don't u think?
Thank u sawz! :)
