can you give me an example of the correct db settings? i have them set up how i think they should be, but obviously its not correct. my problem is that i dont know what ive done wrong. i entered the db name, password, host as they are on my server. i could have the path wrong.
would you happen to have an example?
thanks, i appreciate your help!

hello
sorry but i don't know you db settings!
if you follow these steps
http://www.phpwcms-docu.de/index.php?installation_en
then everything should work execept you have spelling errors in db name, db login and db password
Mysql version 4.1 and up might be the problem

I had the same problem. MySQL 4.1 and up uses a new authentication protocol. After transforming the admin-password all went well.
