Hi there, I'm having a similar error with my installation. Just installed MySql on my local machine and when running install.php I get to step 3 with the following errors:
Here we are checking your database connectivity and permissions. If any of these checks fail you will need to correct the errors in order to proceed.
Connecting to server FAILED
Connecting to database FAILED
One or more of the above checks failed. Click the button below to return to the previous screen to verify your settings.
The following is the info that I entered on Step 2
This next step consists of gathering the database information. You will need to know the server the mysql engine is running on, the database name, the username, and the password if necessary.
Database server localhost
Database name ubbthreads
Database user xxxxxxxxxx
Database password xxxxxxxxx
Tablename prefix (no spaces)w3t_
I can access the database from the command line fine, so I know it exists and that the username and password are correct. Pleaser help. thanks.
