I installed and setup FA about 8 months ago using Docker and it's been working fine. I last used it a month ago without problem. Today when I try to access it I find it's going to the ERP Installation Wizard. When I enter the database name, user and password I get a message 'User or password is invalid or you have no permissions to create database.'. I've accessed the database on the mysql server without problem so the database name, user and password are correct. I tried setting up a new database but get the same message. Can anyone advise please? TIA

As time has passed, different versions of FA have been made available. However, to me, the mechanism for upgrading has been confusing at best with comparisons of different files, install a "new" version and import data from a backup, or overwrite the old files with the new.

I have opted to simply overwrite the files from Ver 2.14.17 over the 2.14.15 files. However, I'm not sure if the update is in effect because the footer shows Ver 2.14.15 when I log into the program.

Using the following guide:   https://frontaccounting.com/wbt/pages/download/update-guide.php

I should be able to comment out "$version variable in config.php" to show the current release. However, there isn't a "version" variable in the config.php.  There is a "build_version" only.

So.... If there is a simple update process, would someone please spell it out?  [At least for relatively recent installations.]

Thanks     Frank Carll

PHP version = 8.0.26

I get some random timeout issue / being returned to homescreen with 'Incorrect username / password. Please try again'

So far I have tried but it's not working so far:
- extending session.gc_maxlifetime = 1440 to higher value
- Company setup > login timeout to 86400

I'm on static ip address and wonder if anyone here can guide me on solving my error? Thanks!!!

I currently use Quickbooks but am kind of fed up being tied to them and their ever increasing prices.  Also I have the desktop version so the idea of a web based solution is kind of good for me.

I was hoping some members could comment if this is a good fit before I start trying to migrate all my data.  First, I'm experienced in developing in PHP, MySQL, HTML, CSS, and a bit of JS.  I build WP websites, I use SuiteCRM and develop in that so I'm thinking FrontAccounting would be a good fit.  Who knows I might be able to contribute.

My business is in Canada.

Does FA work well with GST/HST and keeping track of remittances to the Government?

I have some clients in the US, does it work well with multi-currency?

I have two employees, I currently do payroll transactions manually in QB, is this fairly easy to replicate in FA?

One great feature of QB is to download and reconcile bank transactions.  Does this work similar in FA?

Is there anything else I should know before diving in?

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
