hi. i have a qnap with webcollab on it. i wanted to start using it but when i run it from the qnap and try to log in with my admin user i get "Sorry but there seems to be a problem in connecting to the database". why?
This is caused by WebCollab not being able to connect to the database. This can be the wrong username/password for the database server, or that the database does not exist.
If you go into the file [webcollab]/config/config.php with a text editor and change the lines:
//show full debugging messages on the screen when errors occur (values are "N", or "Y")
define('DEBUG', "N" );
Change to:
//show full debugging messages on the screen when errors occur (values are "N", or "Y")
define('DEBUG', "Y" );
Save the file and you will get a bit more debugging information.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:

what database server? its on the qnap, shouldn't the qnap act as the server? ans shouldn't the default admin user on the qnap work also for webcollab?
and where do i find this files? searched on the qnap, no [webcollab] folder.
