Database Configuration

cse247 - March 11, 2008 - 20:26

This is as far as I can get: http://www.cse247.com/dreamscape (database config).

I know all of my information and it still does not work. It comes up with the following error:

"Failure to connect to your MySQL database server. MySQL reports the following message: Access denied for user 'DesAutels'@'64.74.223.29' (using password: YES).
Are you sure you have the correct username and password?
Are you sure that you have typed the correct database hostname?
Are you sure that the database server is running?
For more help, see the Installation and upgrading handbook. If you are unsure what these terms mean you should probably contact your hosting provider."

It even pulls up the wrong numbers... It's not '64.74.223.29' - it's '64.74.223.52'

I have talked to my hosting provider and they are as confused as I am...

Can anyone help?

Look under "Advanced

Look under "Advanced Options" to set the database host.

I've done that.

That is how I got the previous error.

New Error

This is my new error message:

"We were unable to lock a test table on your MySQL database server. We tried locking a table with the command LOCK TABLES drupal_install_test WRITE and MySQL reported the following error: Access denied for user 'desautels'@'64.74.223.0/255.255.255.0' to database 'desautels_db849'."

Please help...

You need the LOCK TABLES database privilege

From the system requirements:
http://drupal.org/requirements

From the troubleshooting FAQ:
http://drupal.org/node/17241

You host will know how to give you that. They might not want to though - in which case you'd need a different host to run Drupal.

I changed servers

Okay I read the requirements and switched servers (from windows to linux)

Here is my error message now:

"The Drupal installer requires write permissions to ./sites/default/settings.php during the installation process."

Please help...

Write permissions

See here: http://drupal.org/server-permissions

By the way, the Support forums is a better place for this kind of posts. Use Installation problems if you have more problems during installation. (Let's hope not :-)

Thank you.

Will do... Thank you for all of your help.
