Hi

I have previously installed XOOPS 2.0.13.1 and XOOPS 2.2.3 on Windows XP successfully. Now I am having to install XOOPS on a Windows 2000 server but I can't get the XOOPS installer pages to connect to the database so that the tables can be created.

I am running Windows 2000 SP4, have tried both XOOPS 2.0.13.1 and XOOPS 2.2.3, installing under Apache 2.0.54 with PHP 4.4.0 and MySQL 4.1.14. I have checked all of the config files (php.ini, httpd.conf, my.ini) between the XP and the Win2000 machines and they are all identical. I have checked user permissions on both machines and they appear to be the same. I have checked the MySQL database permissions and they are the same on both machines. I can connect to the database no problem with MySQL and Navicat but I just can't get the XOOPS install pages to get past the table creation page.

This seems like a permissions problem to me but I have run out of places to look. Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

Thanks

The solution to this may well have been under Database problems thread but I discovered that I had forgotten to SET_OLDPASSWORD() on the MySQL database, duh! If anyone should come across this link and need the solution it is here:
