  • Trying to Install and Need Some Help

    I am just messin with this Lite program to make sure it works before I buy the real deal later on this week. I can get the install.php to start on the web browser but when it goes to step 3, it just says "Attempting to connect..." indefinetly. Anyone know what I am doing wrong? Below is my server info and then my config.php as it is now. See if you can see anything I have done wrong. Thanks!

    IP Address: 66.70.114.240

    Database Name: mboard
    Username: xSSelerate
    Password: xxxx (not really the pass, but you get the picture)

    Config File:
    <?php

    /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
    // Please note that if you get any errors when connecting, //
    // that you will need to email your host as we cannot tell //
    // you what your specific values are supposed to be //
    /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

    // type of database running
    // (only mysql is supported at the moment)
    $dbservertype="mysql";

    // hostname or ip of server
    $servername="66.70.114.240:88";

    // username and password to log onto db server
    $dbusername="xSSelerate";
    $dbpassword="xxxx";

    // name of database
    $dbname="mboard";

    //password needed to enter the control panel
    $cppassword="xxxx";

    ?>

    Try changing $servername to 'localhost'.

          $servername="localhost";

              'Does not work' is not enough information. Post the full and complete error message.

                Sorry...

                It still just says "Attempting to connect..."

                That is all it says. It does not go anywhere from there.

                  Hmmmm...you'll need to contact your host then and make sure MySQL is running and that you have permissions to access it.
