Hi,

I'm trying to install drupal on a vdeck host.
Seems like my drupal installation isn't able to connect with the mysql server on the first step of the configuration process.

That is, when i first run the install script, drupal is sending me the "Unable to connect to database server" page.

But my mysql server is running, my username and password are valid (i can connect to it with phpmyadmin) and my settings.php file has been configured with the right data.

So i was wondering if there was any known issue concerning drupal 5 trying to connect with a mysql version server 4.0.16?

thanks

Don't know for MySQL 4.0.16, but drupal works just fine with MySQL 4.0.15 and MySQL 4.0.17.

You have mentioned that your username and password are valid, but what's with host.

In order to connect to mysql database, you have to define username, password and host (where mysql server is running).
Usually, it's localhost (if both web server and database server are on the same host)

thanks,

as you were suggesting, the host was wrong.

I'm use to dreamhost where your database server is another one than the domain host so i had to change the database server to "localhost" for this one.

But when i visited the site, right after that, a bunch of errors appeared.
