#23 Database connection
Hello developer,
My problem is odd. I have set up the webcollab on my server where I have my website that works well with php and mySQL. While adding webcollab onto this server, I edited the config.php as your instruction. However, it shows "unable to connect to database." I tried to change mySQL_PDO into mySQL. It shows the error clearly. Because I used the existing database instead of creating a new one, I think I might change some codes for that. Please let me know how to solve this problem. Thank you very much!
O.K. I am confused. When you say, "I tried to change mySQL_PDO into mySQL", what do you mean by that?
You can't use the old MySQL driver, it has to be MySQL PDO.
It sounds like you error is in connecting to the database server. Turning on debugging in config file might help, but the login page won't show debug info (for security reasons).
Check your username, password and host to the database server. This is usually the problem.
