Your title is SMF hero,then you may know that in beginning,smf asks for database configs?

ɔɔɔɔɔɔuɥoɾ

Well, yes, but your post it not very detailed, I cant read your mind lol..

If your talking about the part where it asks for the connection settings, that's because it needs to access sql to use it lol

The utilization, Are you asking why its asking for those details or are you asking why use sql anyway?

Sahil_kr, do you need any further assistance with this? What I think you mean is just database information such as user, name, etc. Nothing out of the ordinary.

Do u have SMF forum,When u upload files,you just click and your Forum is installed?Don't it asks for Sql user name&Password,Admin use name and password.

It needs the info for the database so it can store the data from the forum, like members, posts and settings in it.

It needs the Info,That's what i am trying to explain,but other say that ANY INSTALLER DOESN'T NEED ANY QUERY

Okay, I'm going to pass on this.

Being a superhero, I have no idea what you are referring to.

No,i won't,it is understandable that SMF installer asks for queries.

the smf installer on its own (when you get it from here) needs information only you can give it

but some sites have an auto install option that installs it for you - this is managed by services such as fantastico or installatron and they have modified the installer not to need to ask you some of the questions

I know that fantastico and softaculous has auto install features,but one or more query it too asks and saying that no installer asks queries is really unknowlegeable and an "Insult" for Smf hero!

I need the thread Closed now!
