Step 4 of Installation

Post by rmgriswo » Fri Apr 20, 2012 1:39 am

Could not connect to the database. Connector returned number: Unable to connect to the Database: Could not connect to MySQL. Using the defaults and am not having any luck changing things up. Is there something I need to change. Completely new to this. Thank you.

make sure you have the correct user name and password with your database.

Is there a chance the database already existed? I thought I was creating a database but the message was making me think otherwise. Is there a way to find the database and verify the name and password?

check your configuration and login detail whether it is correct or not.
