Hi,

Please forgive this email from a complete beginner, but one who is very impressed with what he's seen of other Post Nuke sites...

My site (www.lashtal.com) is desperately crying out to be converted to PostNuke, but I'm failing at the first fence!

The PostNuke install.php prompts and my responses are as follows:

Database Host: www.lashtal.com (I've also tried superultra2.uk2net.com)
Database User Name: lashtal_coml (as stated by uk2.net)
Database Password: (Entered as stated by uk2.net)
Database Name: lashtal_coml (again, as stated by uk2.net)
Table Prefix: nuke_
Database Type: mysql
Database Table Type: myisam

I then submit these details (without the "create database" option set, as UK2.net do not allow root access) and get the following errors:

No database made.
Warning: mysql_connect(): Access denied for user: 'lashtal_coml@superultra2.uk2net.com' (Using password: YES) in /home/lashtal_com/nuke/pnadodb/drivers/adodb-mysql.inc.php on line 237
Error connecting to DB
Program: /home/lashtal_com/nuke/install/db.php - Line N.: 45
Database: lashtal_coml
Error (1045) : Access denied for user: 'lashtal_coml@superultra2.uk2net.com' (Using password: YES)
Does all this mean that you haven't set up my database?

I'd be very grateful if someone familiar with PHP and MySQL on uk2.net could offer some help - and, don't worry, I certainly don't mind being considered absolutely ignorant in these matters!

use localhost as your host

Many thanks... I've tried that and get the following:

No database made.
Warning: mysql_connect(): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (111) in /home/lashtal_com/nuke/pnadodb/drivers/adodb-mysql.inc.php on line 237
Error connecting to DB
Program: /home/lashtal_com/nuke/install/db.php - Line N.: 45
Database: lashtal_coml
Error (2002) : Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (111)

I'm assuming the Intranet option should remain unticked and I've tried Create Database selected and unselected...

try 127.0.0.1 in the database host
