HELP - MySql and IIS

[adav]

Hello

I need help :blush:

I am setting up a website locally using IIS and the main html core of the website is fine.

The problem starts with my forum. I have installed the latest build of MySql for Windows and PHP was already installed.

I think i have setup Mysql correctly with a guide on the vbulletin website

but it seems that IIS cannot communicate with MySQL. :cry:

I am positive that i am entering the correct values :yes: but i get this error when connecting with Vbulletin :wacko: :

Step 2) Connect to the database

Attempting to attach to database

Warning: mysql_errno(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in C:\forumshosting\vb307\includes\db_mysql.php on line 140

The database has failed to connect because you do not have permission to connect to the server. Please confirm the values entered in the 'includes/config.php' file.[/COLOR]

I have also tried with an old free copy of IPB 1 and phpBB but i get similar error messages! :cry:

Please Help me! :blush: Where am i going wrong?

Sounds like wrong username and password for the database

When you set up the vbulletin site, did it ask you for the username and password for the database?

You may need to go through the install process again and set 'root' as the user and whatever password you set for the database.
