CMS Made Simple Forums

Hi All -

I'm confused and shouldn't be because I'm sure I'm doing everything right.

I'm trying to host CMS Made Simple on my Windows 7 PC to be used as an Intranet but I'm having problems connecting to the database on install.

Here's my set up:

Windows 7 Enterprise
Wamp Server 2.5
cmsms-2.0-beta1-install.phar.zip

I've set up a database within phpMyAdmin with a database name and set up a new user with a password and granted all permissions.

I have put the above cmsms-2.0 file into my www directory which I can access fine by going to http://localhost/cmsms-2.0-beta1-install.php

On step 4 I put in the Database Hostname: (localhost) Database Name: (cmsdatabase), Username: (cms_user) & Password: (cms_pass) and I get the following error message...

'We could not connect to the database. Please double check the credentials you have supplied'.

My WAMP Server is definitely online and all services are running and I've definitely created a database and user and put in the correct information so now I'm very confused what to do...

Any help would be much appreciated.

Many thanks,
Cpt

2.0 is in BÈTA, so not supported for production websites.

Hi

It's being hosted locally on a network from a Windows 7 PC not via the internet.

Sorted it. It was to do with User Privileges. Needed to use Localhost instead of the wildcard.
