Errors in chmod configuration.php and msql

[franz]

Installation errors:

 

My configuration.php chmod is 777 but i have error: Configuration File .......... You must set permissions for the configuration.php file so it can be written to (CHMOD 777)

 

I ignore it and i go to setp 3 (/install/install.php?step=3)

 

in step3 i fill all ok and after that i get this error:

"Could not connect to the database - check the database connection details you entered and go back and correct them if necessary"

 

My connection in mysql i OK i checked it by this php file:

 

<?php

mysql_connect("localhost", "user_name", "user_password") or die(mysql_error());

echo "Connected to MySQL<br />";

mysql_select_db("database_name") or die(mysql_error());

echo "Connected to Database";

?>

 

this is result:

Connected to MySQL

Connected to Database

 

Whot is wrong? Any idea?

Of course the first thing to check is that you are using the correct password and username and usually localhost as the host name...

 

Need to ensure that your are set as the owner of the config file, can also try 755 as the permissions as depending on your setup 777 may not be allowed...

My configurations file is set to 644 and as far as i know hasn't caused any issues.

if you are running phpsuexec etc you need 644 if not then 777 is needed. if you set to 777 when running phpsuexec then it will cause errors.

I resolved this problem.

I changed main catalog chmod to 777 and all is working fine (connection to msql is workin to)
