[SMF] Can't Install...

[tilla]

Ok, so I'm putting in the correct EVERYTHING, and I can still not get it to install.

Critical Error!
Cannot connect to the database server with the supplied data.

If you are not sure about what to type in, please contact your host.
Unknown MySQL server host 'mysql' (1)


Thats the error I get, if I use "localhost" for the Database Server Name I get

Critical Error!
Cannot connect to the database server with the supplied data.

If you are not sure about what to type in, please contact your host.
Access denied for user '15667_forums'@'localhost' (using password: YES)


But nothing works at all, I checked and made sure I was using the correct database name, database username, and database password. If someone could please help, that'd be nice. :)

The mysql server is "mysql" not "localhost"

Please use the correct setting and provide the URL where I can see the error.

I tried using "mysql" as I stated, and it still did not work.

This looks like a problem with SMF, they must have changed something in one of the recent versions because it used to work.

You should file a bug report with SMF.
Its likely trying to do something else with the "server name" value instead of passing it directly to PHP's mysql_connect() function like it should.

When i visited your site, the SMF installer displayed looks slightly different to the one I see in your screenshot, and it definitely does accept the "mysql" host name.

Please make absolutely sure the page you are viewing is hosted on our server.

It looks like to me that the page you took the screenshot of is not hosted by us, which is why it cannot locate the "mysql" host because its on our local network, it cant be accessed outside our server.

I found the problem! I had the domain at a friends host, and he changed the password for everything, I changed the nameservers, and the problem was that it was directing me to the one at his host, I added "www." before my domain and it went to the correct one. His host will probably be canceled soon, so that will hopefully stop that problem.

Yes your nameservers were only changed today.
It takes upto 2 days before the change is fully effective, during that time when you load the domain you could be viewing either the old or new host.

Ah ok.

Also, just a quick question, but, do you guys allow Ajax shoutboxes? Because I'm thinking of getting one, but I'd just like to know first, as I don't feel like getting my account suspended.\\

EDIT: NEVERMIND, found out, there not allowed.
