I'm using 1&1 Managed WP Unlimited, in the clickandbuild for this wordpress website (https://blahblah.com) I've created a forum folder (https://blahblah.com/forum), I created a fresh MySQL5.5 database, PHP Version 7.0.6, I've tested the SQL settings in a PHP test page and it works but when I go to install VB 5.2.2 I get this.
Startup Errors
Due to the following errors, the install/upgrade can not continue:
I've tried changing $config['MasterServer']['servername'] = 'localhost'; to $config['MasterServer']['servername'] = 'localhost:/tmp/mysql.sock'; (from another post here). I changed the database password to one without any special characters. Still no luck....I'm about to hit the whiskey.....
Any thoughts?
