PHP & MySQL error

[darth_linux]

I'm trying to install phpBB 2 bulletin. I can get up to the install page and once i fill in all the stuff and click on "Install" it gives me this error:

Code: Select all

Warning: mysql_error(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in F:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\db\mysql4.php on line 330

Warning: mysql_errno(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in F:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\db\mysql4.php on line 331
phpBB : Critical Error

Could not connect to the database

:eek:

When I open the mysql4.php in dreamweaver and go to lines 330 & 331 this is what the lines say:

Code: Select all

             
              $result['message'] = mysql_error($this->db_connect_id);
              $result['code'] = mysql_errno($this->db_connect_id);

8-O

Can any one tell me what is wrong with it. Please help.

Do you have mysql installed and running as a service?

If yes have you created a database already for phpbb.

phpbb will create your tables. But the database has to be created first
