What's in the config folder
« on: February 11, 2008, 11:43:38 PM »
n the INSTALL file, you say
Rename the files config/*.inc.php.dist to config/*.inc.php

however, there are 2 files

main.inc.php.dist
db.inc.php.dist

Obviously, I can't name both of them mysql.inc.php

so what are you actually referring to here?

OK, I'm going to assume that main.inc.php should stay, and db should be changed to mysql.inc.php

Well I've done all that, and I still get:

DATABASE ERROR: CONNECTION FAILED!

Unable to connect to the database!
Please contact your server-administrator

I think it's a password thing, but MyPHPadmin doesn' t seem to allow clear text passwords... I have no idea where to go from here.

They both need to be renamed and modified for your configuration. But all you do is drop the .dist off the end.

main.inc.php.dist becomes main.inc.php

db.inc.php.dist becomes db.inc.php
