Hmmm....I really don't remember what the install even asked me. This is =
on a Win install? Do you have the "stoplight" icon on the sys tray? That =
is the WinMySQLAdmin utility and will tell you if MySQL is set up =
correctly (or a good start). I have Xitami installed in C:\Xitami and =
the same with PHP and MySQL (C:\PHP and C:\MySQL). PHPbb is installed in =
the C:\Xitami\webpages\phpbb directory.

Other than that I am not sure what your problem would be as I did not =
have much of a problem doing the install and then having to troubleshoot =
it. I did have a couple of questions and went to the PHPbb support =
forum. They were all really helpful there. You might want to try that. =
The location of the database files...I believe I left mine at localhost.

Check the following: http://www.phpbb.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=3D4805

Sorry I could not be of more help to you.

        Mike,

        I suppose I should have been more specific, I've installed my =
sql and php, when I go to do the phpbb installation I get " critical =
error, could not connect to database"...it may be that I am not setting =
phpbb up correctly for xitami as I'm not sure of what I do need to put =
in for the following:
        Database Server Hostname
        Your Database name
        Script Path.... shouldn't that be just be " /" if phpbb is =
installed in the webpages dir?
        Should any of the Database user or Administrator names and =
passwords for phpbb match anything elsewhere?
        Was there anything you did other than just run the install for =
mysql?=20

        Thanks a bunch for your willingness to help :)

        Dave

        There is not much to tell as all I did was run the install for =
MySQL and it was done. That was the first time that I had ever really =
done an install of MySQL.

        Are you getting any particular error message? What is it? What =
is generating the message? MySQL? PHPbb?

        A little more info might help some.

        Mike
