Just installed a phpBB3 forum to see what its like.
Then tried the conversion process, and getting nowhere rapidly.
I get "Could not connect to the database, see error message below.
No error message given."
As far as I can tell, it cannot access the database.
I've installed these using fantastico, and used the default settings.
The one I really dont know about is the Prefix. The other values (except password that I'm leaving blank), I have from an email after creation. The extension on the database name is _phpb3, should that also be the prefix ?
Aynone got any clues as to whats wrong with this ? |

| You need to enter your database name, database user name and password. |

| You need to enter correct database name, database username and password in the config file to let the database gets connected and your forum will run fine. |
