Help...New To EE : getting Unable to connect Error

[rhkdiver]

Greetings, I am brand new to EE. I have followed all of the instructions exactly ( I think ) and contacted my server's tech support for confirmation of activated MYSQL, server type ( Apache 1 / Linux ), and correct paths.

This is the error message I receive:
DATABASE INSTALLER 1.22

SCROLL DOWN THE PAGE UNTIL YOU SEE A CONFIRMATION BOX

Unable to connect to the photo database server at this time
PLEASE PRESS REFRESH ON YOUR BROWSER TO TRY AGAIN.


I modified the setup.php as follows:

[mwpmo]

The connect.php should be

[rhkdiver]

thanks for the reply but according to my server admin

$servername= "mysqlhost";
$databasename= "EEdatabase";
$username= "mwsqluser";
$password= "mysqlpassword";

the username, password, servername are correct...that the entries are the same for MYSQL server as they are for my ftp info and login to my admin panel...

I will check again.....but please advise.

I just install EE as well, however I installed EE1.5beta4. I'm sure Pekka has made some major changes to EE since 1.22, so you might want to install 1.5 instead.

The most current EE1.5 beta downloads can be found at:
