Hi,

I have just installed XOOPS on a laptop for demo purposes. Have installed it on a winxp pro operating system with MySQL version 4 and php 4.x. I can get through half the installation with no errors.

But when it comes to the database section it says it is unable to connect to the database server even though it is running and i have verified and tested the security credentials and all is fine.

I have checked to make sure the services running and tested it and it is all ok. But XOOPS refused to find the server.

Can anyone please help me with this. I have installed XOOPS in the past many times with no problems but am puzzled with this situation.

regards,
MG
