Topic: XOOPS install on SME 6

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I've followed the steps from see at bottom to create mysql db and everytime it comes up with

"Could not connect to the database server."

I've looked at logs and can find nothing, please help me!

Cheers

Are you sure you filled in the correct names:

user = xoops
databasename =xoops
etc.

I agree with Boris that the permissions are to excessive.

1. Create a database ( ej: xoops2 ):

root# mysqladmin create xoops2 (intro)

2. Verify that you have created it:

>mysql ( intro )
then you will be in line commandos of mysql
mysql>
mysql> show databases; ( ";" is very important )

3. Create a user and permissions: ( ej: kaokao   )
mysql> grant all on xoops2.* to kaokao identified by 'pw'; ( ";" is very important, pw is the password )
