Unable to connect to database

[klospros]

Hi,

 

I have installed a development version of WHMCS on WIndows Server 2008, have installed mysql and mysql administrator, created an empty database and can connect with no issues with mysql admin using the new users details, but WHMCS cannot connect to complete the install. Am I missing something?

I have edited the php.ini file to allow curl and mysql but this is beating me at the moment

Any assistance and or ideas to try will be most welcome:)

 

Cheers

 

Klos

I have problem installing the WHCMS.

When I hit .../install/install.php it foward to http://www.default.com

 

The .../configuration.php was blank. After searching on this forum I changed the file to:

 

<?php

$link = mysql_connect("localhost", "user", "password");

 

if(!$link)

die("Error: ".mysql_error());

 

$db_selected = mysql_select_db("database", $link);

 

if(!$db_selected)

die("Error: ".mysql_error());

?>

 

Still not able to connect. Any help will be welcome.
