Hi,
I'm new to XAMP and FrontAccounting and am having some issues when trying to install. I've looked at the other posts that referred to this same error message:
Cannot connect to database. User or password is invalid or you have no permissions to create database.
But neither has helped me get over this first hurdle.
I have installed XAMPP for Windows 5.6.28 on my 64bit Windows 8.1 laptop.
I have IIS running as well so I changed the httpd.conf to Listen 81.
Version information:
Apache/2.4.23 (Win32) OpenSSL/1.0.2h PHP/5.6.28
10.1.19-MariaDB
I manually created a new user, setting the Host Name to localhost and selected this check box: Create database with same name and grant all privileges.
Accessing the install page (http://localhost:81/frontaccounting/install/index.php) shows everything as OK on the first page. When I hit continue and enter the server host as: 127.0.0.1:81, put in my database user, password and database name (I'm 99% sure I've got these details correct) then hit continue, it takes a few minutes before the above error message is displayed.
I'd appreciate any advice on troubleshooting this.
