Re: Install Problem

Are you sure your values for connecting to your database are right ?
When happened this bug ?

Fresh Install 1.3.0.53 > no problem ?


Generally, every " could not connect to the database " are problems of login ... ( I mean that user name or password are maybe wrong. )

Server Problem.  :roll: 

http://www.google.com.au/search?q=Lost+connection+to+MySQL+server+at+%27reading+initial+communication+packet%27%2C+system+error%3A+111&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-GB:official&client=firefox-a

Also! If this is YOUR url - streetracerforum.com - It's parked. 

But as you don't even have a .com or .net etc, in the url you posted, what exactly is the url you are you trying to connect to?

It usually is "localhost" and not something.anything because that's how it works. And it's rare that it would be any different. ;)

You'll probably have to access your Cp - phpMyAdmin and drop the tables and then try again with "localhost"

Btw - change your /icyphoenix/ to forum or something more appropriate. :P

Re: Install Problem
-----------------------------------
Usually, when you subscribe to any hosting service, they send to you, during process, all the informations you need to use it ( by mail ). You shall find in all you need to complete successfully your installation ( db user & password, db host, etc ... ). Sometimes you can also find it in one of the pages when you connect to the site.

[code]landrser_forumdb     user ..........................and this is the user im using...............................
landrser_phpb1      user[/code]

But this, it really sound strange to me : normally, the user value you use to connect to the site is the same than for connect to the database via .php or else. ( Dunno if I understood well what you wanna say ... )
