I just installed PHP 4.3.0 via the install shield. Database MySQL 3.23.55.
Application phpBB2 2.0.4. Server IIS (Win XP Pro).
Running phpBB2 does properly open the "Welcome to phpBB2 Installation"
screen. Filling in the data and pushing the "Start Install" button just
returns the error message: "phpBB : Critical Error - Could not connect to
the database".
I made three earlier and successful installations with the same software
combination (except Win 2000, not XP) - but this time I have spent several
hours trying to find out what I did wrong. No luck.
Anyone out there with a suggestion - what to look for?
