Topic: Install phpbb with album.pl

[Marcus]

Hi!

I'm trying to install phpbb with the Photo Album but I can't get it working..

I haven't even seem to get the login to work yet.
I'm a little new to this with mysql and stuff, so if anyone who have installed it could help me. I would truly greatful!. Mayby Mike could help??

when I'm trying to login it says:

Access denied for user: 'marcus@localhost' (Using password: YES) at album.pl line 2696"

I think I've put the right info in the database section, but I don't know

A faq or something would be great!

Thanks for a great script Mike!

Cheers

Hi Marcus,

That's definitely an issue with MySQL. The good news is you've gotten farther than most people before they report a problem (just getting album.pl to talk to MySQL).

It's almost certainly the DB username, password or database name setting, since those are used to make the initial connection, and that's what is failing.

If you can confirm that those settings work, you should be OK... (You can do this by telnet/SSH if you have shell access: "mysql --password --user=marcus yabbse" will prompt for your password (assuming yabbse is the DB name)).

Hi Mike!

Sorry.. but I think I need some help with this.
I can't seem to get it to work with the mysql database.

Can you please tell me what exactly to write in:

db_name= ?
db_membertable= ?
db_username= ?
db_passwdfield= ?

The "phpbb2"(folder) is installed in "public_html".
But it isn't like yabb with a member folder.. it's a memberlist.php file.

Please help me with this!
I'm getting crazy

I've tried everything..

Cheers

Hi Marcus,

If I knew you're db username/password, that would probably be a bad thing...

However, according to the defaults, here's what I'd try:

db_driver=mysql
db_name=???
db_hostname=localhost
db_user=???
db_password=???
db_port=3306
db_membertable=phpbb_users
db_username=username
db_passwdfield=user_password

Items with are ones that have no set defaults. Check your phpBB config, and if it's working, it should have those values in it somewhere...

Cheers
