phpbb and mysql probs again
 

right here we go again... i am trying to install an upgrade to phpbb from easybb 3.0 to 4.0, followed the instructions to the letter and got to the same stage as a month ago. http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/sh...ad.php?t=14468
I ended up getting iweb to do it for me, but i want to get it sorted myself this time (with some help from here of course :p: )

What i am doing wrong?

the database is already installed
i have tried the upgrade and install options
i have tried mysql 3 and 4
i have confirmed the un and pw are correct, and i am using the prefix
the config.php file has 666 permissions

could someone confirm the details which should work and tell me why it never works for me :(

going to be bald before 21 if i don't figure this out...

ignore me... all sorted now

mods please remove this completely useless thread :)

Glad its sorted - sometimes just spelling out the problem and sharing leads to a fix.

The thread would only be completely useless if you don't go on to share the solution.........

outrageously simple... i was using the wrong prefix for the database!

if anyone else is going to do the same, just open cpanel and copy and paste the relevant info... makes it much easier to get it right and trust me it will save a lot of time!!
