Step 3 connection failied

[PanBiker]

After filling the fields in step 3, pressing continue, it closes the window and I get a connection failed.
The cms database is cerated, the cms user has all rights. It's mysql 4.1.
Has somebody any idea what went wrong? The error message tells me what's not working but not what's wrong.

Regards,

Steve

I also had a similar problem with the install. Using mysql 4.1 on apache server. After reading some of the other posts about the failure to connect to the database, I was unable to solve this problem.  Many people seem to have this install problem.

Just tried the new version 11 beta and was able to install successully, although I had to select the old MySQL option 3-4.0 rather than the 4.1+ option. The latter option still gave the same error as before, even though my host is using MySQL 4.1.11. Strange...

Attempting 0.10.1, getting same results -- no db connection.

I'd hoped that this was the ole PHP/mySQL password issue, but changed the passord to old password style, same result. Trying beta now...

Code: Select all

SET PASSWORD FOR  'cms_simple'@'localhost' = OLD_PASSWORD('qweasd');
