    • database problem

    Posted by el_ja

    In index.php i get:
    Unable to login to the MySql database 'tiki'on 'localhost' as user 'root'
    Go here to begin the installation process, if you haven't done so already

    DB Error: not found

    i'm getting this in the tiki-install.php
    -----------------
    Tiki cannot find a database connection
    Please enter your database info
    Host: localhost
    User: (i type here 'root')
    Pass:
    Database Name: (i type here 'tiki')

    Send
    -----------------

    I'm new in the whole mysql thing, i've created a db with
    '#mysqladmin create tiki' and in phpMyAdmin too, didn't use a pass. The database is in /var/lib/mysql/tiki/ and the tikiwiki folder is in /var/www/html/tikiwiki/ .
    Anybody can help me with this

    Which version of Tiki are you using?

    There is a thread somewhere in the forum about a release of linux needing changes to my.cnf. What release are you on?

    I would suggest to try and jump on #tikiwiki on IRC. It sounds to me like somewhere your php and mysql is not setup correctly. Id need details of the phpinfo to be able to see whats going on now.

    Look in phpinfo for a mysql section. and copy/paste the details here

    Ta!
