Hi again,
I am now ready to install the mysource core on my live server and have made an attempt to do so. All required components and packages are installed however I get the following error at Step 10…
DB Error: connect failed with DSN mysql://mwharton:#######@localhost/ (where the ##### is the password)
Has anyone encountered this? What was the solution?
Mike
Nevermind… I worked it out… I Used the Root user (I did try this yesterday but it had the same error but after a fresh install of the php-mysql package and a reboot of the server it now works… I am now on to step 11
Newer versions of MySQL 4 (edit: MySQL 4.1 and up) use a different password storage algorithm.
You need to change the database user’s password using the instructions linked below for Matrix (Well… the PEAR:DB package really) to connect to it.
MySQL Manual
Thanks… I have finally been successful in the installation… all I need to do now is to learn how to use this complex package…
