I am having the same problem. I have set the permission to db.inc.php to read&write and I too hit the buton and nothing happens, and the input fields are back empty. <br /> <br />My server is Apache 2, 2.0.47, php 4, 4.3.2R2, mySql 4.0.13 running on a Mac G4, OS X ver 10.2.6 <br /> <br />I know that I am probably doing something wrong, but I am at a lose. <br /> <br />Please help 😢
I had a similar problem, I found that I didn´t have permissions for the database server. I needed to match the hostname entered to the hostname of the user in mysql.. <br /> <br />I found out by changing line 35 (step2) from: <br /> <br /> $link = mysql_connect($db_server, $db_uname, $db_pass) or die("Could not connect"); <br /> <br />to something like: <br /> <br /> $link = mysql_connect($db_server, $db_uname, $db_pass) or die(mysql_error(). "Could not connect"); <br /> <br />This gave a descriptive error message. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />(File: install.php 05/05/03 11:34)
