Windows 2000 Advanced Server setup problem

[RJ Jaffey]

I'm running Windows NT2000 Advanced Server. Have PHP 4, Perl 5 and MySQL installed and running. Have been trying to get the vBulletin software running for two days now with no success!! I have administrative rights to all folders.

This is the error I get when attempting to setup vBulletin:

*******************************
Attempting to attach to database...


Warning: Access denied for user: 'jaffeyr@zugaboards.zuga.net' (Using password: YES) in C:\Inetpub\forums\admin\db_mysql.php on line 38

I even setup a "MY.CNF" file:

********************************
[mysqld]
basedir=c:/mysql
********************************

I'd like to buy a few more copies of the program if I can get it to work.

Could someone check out my setup and please advise.

Thanks

Looks like your problem lies here:
Warning: Access denied for user: 'jaffeyr@zugaboards.zuga.net' (Using password: YES)
You're trying to connect using a username of <b>jaffeyr@zugaboards.zuga.net</b>, when I would highly doubt you created a MySQL user called that. You'd have this set in your vBulletin phpconfig file

Thanks Chris,

It turned out that the default User Login: ROOT and PW: NONE
was the problem. The documentation didn't explain how to login during the setup steps 1 -12.

Maybe you can help me with another problem that you might know about. When you want to attach a graphic image to a post using the "Browse" button below the "Your Reply" area it will not show the image on the post after you submit it. I know you can link a URL to show an image and that works fine but what about just uploading a graphic to the server area and where.

It seems to work on this site fine as per my attacment below "kathy.jpg"




Any thoughts?

Thanks

Interesting. I haven't yet tried displaying attached graphics inline, I was thinking of leaving it as an "clickable attachment" to minimise bandwidth for those that aren't interested in seeing it. I try turning it on later and see what happens.

Chris,

That will do a "clickable attachment" !!!!

How's that setup on vB?

Thanks
