Okay Im running apache webserver win32 on win2k.
i have just installed mysql.
I edited my config.php
error says
Warning: Failed to Connect in c:\program files\apache group\apache\htdocs\admin\db_mysql.php on line 139

Warning: Supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in c:\program files\apache group\apache\htdocs\admin\db_mysql.php on line 37

Warning: Failed to Connect in c:\program files\apache group\apache\htdocs\admin\db_mysql.php on line 139


Okay... Mysql admin under MyODBC says not found.
Does that mean I need to goto control panel->admin toosl->OBDC ? and add some user data source? if so which do i add?

The line numbers referenced aren't even related to MySQL (139 = } else{; 37 is the connection statement but it shouldn't return that). You're not installing RC2 are you?

First, to answer your original question, vBulletin doesn't use ODBC to connect, so you don't need that.

Second, vB has to have returned more than that (like some generic "problem with the database error"). If it did, view the page source and you'll see a MySQL error hidden in there.

Third, moving to the Lite forum...

it says :Warning: Access denied for user: 'root@root' (Using password: YES) in c:\program files\apache group\apache\htdocs\admin\db_mysql.php on line 31

YES isnt even the password i have defined in db_mysql.php

Well, then you edited your config.php incorrectly -- I doubt your servername is "root" (it's probably "localhost")

And YES, as in YES or NO.

Well, then it wasn't edited correctly and I can't tell you what to put in as I don't know your permission scheme.
