I am trying to setup a test forum using the demo software but keep getting a "Cannot Connect to Database" error. My website is:
http://www.audioheritage.org
The host service is:
http://www.becamation.com
This service runs an Apache server and the "SiteMadeEasy" tools to add support for MYSQL databases. I am using a MYSQL database called "forum".
The following is how I have filled out the setup dialog boxes (passwords obviously not copied):
FTP Server: ftp.audioheritage.org Port 21
Login Name: **************
Password: **************
Path for CGI's: /home/audioheritage/www/cgi-bin (create directory box not checked since already exists)
URL to CGI's: www.audioheritage.org/cgi-bin
Path for Images: /home/audioheritage/www/images (create directory box not checked since already exists)
URL to Images: www.audioheritage.org/images
Use CGI Wrapper (unchecked)
Database Type: MySQL
Database Name: forum
Login Name: forum
Login Password: *********
Hostname: Localhost
Prefix: forum
Drop Existing Tables: (unchecked)
Path to Perl on Remote System: /usr/bin/perl
Administation Email Address: lansing@audioheritage.org
Email Server: /usr/sbin/sendmail
After clicking Install, test.cgi is sucsessfully uploaded but then I get a "can't connect to database" error during setup. One thing I noticed is that the setup screen above asks for a database login name. The "SiteMadeEasy" tools indicate that there is no username - just the database name and password.
Any help greatly apprecaited.
