Otsikko: Problems installing on Yahoo
Kirjoitti: broknindarkagain - lokakuu 22, 2010, 03:12:11 IP
I'm attempting an install of SMF 2 RC3 on Yahoo. I've as well tried v1, but had the same problems.

I already installed SMF on another domain of mine without any issues and it is currently up and running great

As far as my server settings go, I've tried running both PHP4 and PHP5.....no change at all.

I get the following error:
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 'teamtiv2@teamtiv'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

I am using [email protected] as the login, and using my yahoo passoword (same thing I did on the other domains install).

Any ideas as to why I'm coming across this problem? I've spent the past several days looking online for an answer and can't seem to find one.

Any help would be great thanks

Did you setup the database? I'm not sure how this works with Yahoo, but usually you'll need to grant the databaseuser access to the database. Make sure he has all privileges as well.

In addition, localhost isn't always the location for the database. There should be some information about this in your host control panel.
