Post by Cris79 »

Hay I have a problem with the installation of the forum. i have creating a empty database on mysql call forum1, but on the instal page when i submit under Admin Configuration is show an error mesage "The passwords you entered did not match." What can I do?

There is'nt more than one password box for the database install bit, but there is two password boxes for the admin info bit (your account on the forum), sure you did'nt make a typo there?

Ok here is the data which i use;
Default board language: English
Database Type: MySQL 3.x
Choose your installation method: install
Database Server Hostname / DSN: here is empty
Your Database Name: forum1
Database Username: here I put the login of the server
Database Password: here I put the pass of the server
Prefix for tables in database: phpbb_
Admin Email Address: [email protected]
Domain Name: www.me.com
Server Port: 80
Script path: /forum/
Administrator Username: Cris79
Administrator Password: aaaaaa
Administrator Password [ Confirm ]: aaaaaa

What Is wrong?

two things I think,
Database Server Hostname / DSN: localhost
Domain Name: www.domainnamehere.com

unless you really do own me.com 8O , and the admin e-mail bit, its ok, but if you are gonna use a account activation method like e-mail activation, I recommend inserting a proper address :)

Also, unless that password is faked out, I recommend changing.

You probably either typed the password wrongly or didn't fill in all the fields
