BCD 1 Report post Posted June 18, 2009 If you have copied the files onto the server and are installing, then you need to enter "localhost" in the server field.If you are trying to connect to server using ftp client, then you need to enter the domain/subdomain in the host field (ex: domain.com), and port number 21 (you can leave it blank).

BCD 1 Report post Posted June 18, 2009 Considering you already created the MySQL database, I can only think of the password entered incorrectly. Check if the caps lock was on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yordan 10 Report post Posted June 18, 2009 Datebase Server Hostname - localhostDatabase Server Port - 21OK, here is the error. You are running the phpBB installation script, "localhost" is correct for the hostname, but "21" is false for the Databas server port. Leave this value to the default (give nothing).

yordan 10 Report post Posted June 19, 2009 are you doing this with the Xisto installer, or did you upload the phpbb scripts and performed the installation ?We need to know that in order to guess which step has been forgotten. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BCD 1 Report post Posted June 21, 2009 @thepinder: Hope you installed it by now. If not, then completely remove the files you have uploaded and re-upload afresh and make sure you have database created before installing. It should work. When you get error always do this. Most of the time you will get the answer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
