XF 1.4 Server Error at Step 1b

Hi Guys,

First time using XenForo and I have ran into an error in the Step 1b section of the installation. Any help would be much appreciated.

Hey @AndyB - I am not 100% sure, but I tried changing the settings on the screen where you have to input your database settings and it wouldn't let me get to step 1b. So I guess my mysql settings are fine

Try contacting your host to see if they can help.

I replied to your ticket.

There isn't a specific error. But this appears to be a database connection error of some kind. Basically you need to confirm the MySQL information that you are entering into the first step of the install. Your web host should be able to confirm this information.

I suppose it could also be a lack of MySQLi support in PHP. The requirements script will test for this and other XF requirements:

@Jake Bunce

I ran that script just before and it says everything is all fine.

Could it has something to do with the MySQL and MySQLi version?

Responding in more than one place will duplicate efforts unnecessarily.
