hmmm smart thinkin'

wow, i gonna try it!

Thnx bud!

I'll let you know if it works!

Yeah i did create a database, or, in the MySQL administrator called (if i'm right) schemes or something...

i tried again, but with no succes

i reinstalled all components(mysql, php & iis) but it doesn't work either...

I have a W2k Pro machine and installed IIS4, Php4 en mysql4. At my place, the same f*cking problem! i'm over 2 a 3 months busy solving the problems with my server!

this is what i get by installing XOOPS 2.2:

As u can see, i used Root as user.

what is the problem here?

I configured everything in the "MySQL Administrator" wich you can download from their site....

I've done that... but no results :s i really don't know what the problem is... everytime he says that i'm not connected to the database... :s

This is really up!

Does anybody have another solution??

no, i only logged in as root created a new user named: ddewilt, assigned privileges as i said , and that's it.

I logged out, and then logged in as ddewilt @ localhost.

well, if that would be the problem, how should i do that with MySQL administrator?

Ok, but i'm running IIS4 on a W2k Pro machine...

and what is WAMP or LAMP?

what should i do?

It won't work

I've assigned a new password for "Root" and with MySQL administrator on the user administration page at the global privileges, i set all "available privileges" to "Assigned Privileges"

I have to access my site at my computername:
http://ddewilt-des85

But i connect my root with localhost..
Is that the problem?
