XF 1.1 Problems with installation

Hello,

I have just recently purchased a XenForo license, but once I click enter my mySQL details into the site I get this error, please help.

 

Check your details again. Also make sure that you uploaded the generated config file if need be.

 

I'm going to try and make a new mySQL server, this time on Windows though.

 

@Jake Bunce
It didn't work, thanks for your contribution though

@Lycaon
I don't know what config file your talking about

Extra Info
I tested my mySQL info on Sequel Pro (I'm on mac, I created the database with MAMP), and it connects just fine.

 

Also, thought I would add that I didn't get an internal_data folder, so I created the directory, but it has nothing in it.

 

I installed XenForo onto my web hosts FTP server.

 

I apologise for my unearthly noobiness, but what do I actually to them? Do I just ask for a mySQL database?

Thanks

 

like you said Jake,​

​

in the admin panel of your hosting provider you need to create a database(phpmyadmin).​

Once credentials are created, you must fill in the fields for your XenForo works like in your first picture​

​

​

This test lets you know if the server database is good​

​

​

 

Thank you, I managed to do that, although when I enter the information for my hosts mySQL I get access denied for user "my username" (using password:YES)

I believe another error, is that I haven't set the permissions for data and internal_data, as I have no idea how. I apologize for my "noobiness".

 

Also, if this matters, my web host is godaddy

 

for a new installation, you leave it blank
http://xenforo.com/customers/

 

oh, wow, I feel like the biggest idiot right now xD

 

you're not alone! I also think of installing a single version

 

I still get that error, and I have no idea how to set files to "world data writable"

Thanks

 

completely empty FTP directory: www /*all files (ou public_html/*all files).​

send from the zip "xenforo" install.​

​

Then in phpmyadmin also remove all tables "xf".​

​

Start a new install​

​

 

I don't have a www directory on my FTP server.
