Dawn of Light

hello,

I am very new at this so I took a lot of screen shots to explain. I recently started to host my own server to learn. I am running easyphp and using the dolpubDB V3.0. I logged onto the server successfuly a couple day ago then started getting these error messages:

I check the connection first after starting PhP and:



then I run DOL as admin and it starts fine with this:


then the error hits, it looks the same every time I try:



if I rerun dol as admin nothing connects and I get this:


I go to check connection again in config and it tells me access denied.

I would say these are all errors to expect just starting out but I ran it the first day with no problems. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Sorry for the wall of screenshots.

maybe your mysql bugs or something, or try to delete style table or whatever and replace it with the dolpubdb

Is your database named dol? I don't think connecting as root is a good idea, I would create a user just for DOL access. You can use either MySQLWorkbench, which is not intuitive but works well after you figure out how to use it, or HeidiSQL to access your MySQL server, create users, look at the database, etc. DOL is not really plug and play, you'll need to know your way around to successfully run a server.

tralon, i dumped the style and stylexspells tables and replaced them with proven-to-work tables, the problem persists. Tola - yes I have been told heidi is a little more user friendly. I am trying to learn, it is like learning a new language =)

reinstalled dol and db and back to square one, but square one works so i will take it.

thanks
