I need help with upgrading a phpBB2 board from 2.0.6 to 2.0.7...

[MaDfLaMe37]

I've uploaded the 2.0.7 patch files to the phpBB2 forum directory.
I go to http://www.omega6.ampedgamers.com/phpBB2/install/install.php


This is what I have filled out:


Deafult board language: English
Database Type: MySQL 4.x
Choose your installation method: Install (if I choose the upgrade option, it changes the database type to MySQL 3.x and that's not the MySQL version I have)

Databse Server Hostname / DSN: localhost
Your Database Name: omega6_xmb1
Database Username: omega6_xmb1
Database Password: (nothing)
Prefix for tables in database: phpbb_

Admin Email Address: madflame@ampedgamers.com
Domain Name: www.omega6.ampedgamers.com
Server Port: 80
Script Path: /phpBB2/
Administrator Username: Omega6_madflame
Administrator Password: ********
Administrator Password [ Confirm ]: ********


*NOTE: I don't have a Database Password because it isn't listed. I didn't set up the database, the hosting that I'm using automatically set up the forum and the MySQL database for me. Is there a defualt password or something or should I just leave it blank?


This is what I get when I try to submit the information I've filled out:


Warning: mysql_connect(): Access denied for user: 'omega6_xmb1@localhost' (Using password: NO) in /home/omega6/public_html/phpBB2/db/mysql4.php on line 48

Warning: mysql_error(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in /home/omega6/public_html/phpBB2/db/mysql4.php on line 330

Warning: mysql_errno(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in /home/omega6/public_html/phpBB2/db/mysql4.php on line 331
phpBB : Critical Error

Could not connect to the database



If you need any more information just request it in your reply. I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.

Maybe the database account you were given does not have the right priviledges to modify the database tables. You'd have to check with the hosting provider for that info.

Access denied for user: 'omega6_xmb1@localhost' (Using password: NO)

Usually means that the password is incorrect. I doubt any hosting provider would give a customer a database without at least some basic non-blank password.

you should be able to find (or change) your DB password by going to your web host's control panel. Of course, if you have your old phpBB config files, your password will be in there...
