Version 2.07 Installation Problem

[jimlocigno]

I am trying to install PHPMYFAQ on a shared host and I plug in all the information in the install process and it retuns the following message:

Code: Select all

Access denied for user 'jimlocig'@'localhost' (using password: NO) in /home/jimlocig/public_html/faq/inc/PMF_DB/Mysql.php on line 67

The strange thing is that the user id I am using for the database is jimlocig_faqadm ( I have no choice about the jimlocig_ part as this is how the web hosts creates ids).

So why does the error message seem to truncate the user name and IS that the issue with the access denied. I have recreated and readded the mysql user id several times (just in case I had messed up the password) and no luck.

Anyhelp would be appreciated.

Thanks

Hi,

do you use a password? The error message said you didn't use a password...

Yes, I definitely used a password. I can actually install the test version of release 2.5 with NO ISSUES - but I can not install this stable version?
It's very strange.

However, if 2.5 real release date is relatively soon, I may just wait for that.

Thanks.

I am having the same problem installing on a new system. data.php shows the correct information but it is chopping off information.

Code: Select all

<?php
$DB["server"] = 'localhost';
$DB["user"] = 'jlogica_main';
$DB["password"] = '------';  // changed from real one
$DB["db"] = 'jlogica_main';
$DB["prefix"] = 'faq_';
$DB["type"] = 'mysql';
?>

Code: Select all

Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Access denied for user 'jlogica'@'localhost' (using password: NO) in /home/---/faq/inc/PMF_DB/Mysql.php on line 67

I assume that this post is the same issue. Could someone please advise what should be done to alleviate this problem?

Thanks,

Me too, I have the same problem:

I got an "access denied" error same as the one described above and I'm 200% sure I used the correct database settings. Even the last version (209) doesn't work for me.

I even followed every step at post viewtopic.php?t=8859&highlight=acces+denied

When setting permissions I got a Internal server error.

Hope this issue will be solved soon as I need this script very badly...

Hi,

this issue should be fixed with phpMyFAQ 2.0.12.
