Hi all, am getting this error; MySQL extension missing from your host's PHP installation even after uncommenting on the line "extension=php_mysql.dll" in my php.ini file on XAMPP on wondows 8 PC.


Also, after copying the couch folder and uploading to my server, i cannot install the couch cms and gets the error "Access denied for user 'username'@'localhost' to database 'DB'"


Kindly assist.
Greetings "pettymwas"!

Also, after copying the couch folder and uploading to my server, i cannot install the couch cms and gets the error "Access denied for user 'username'@'localhost' to database 'DB'"


This error is found when the settings in your couch/config.php do not match with the settings of your server.

For example:
Code: Select all
// MySQL settings. You need to get this info from your web host.
    // 4.
    // Name of the database
    define( 'K_DB_NAME', '' );
    // 5.
    // Database username
    define( 'K_DB_USER', '' );
    // 6.
    // Database password
    define( 'K_DB_PASSWORD', '' );


#4:
Your database name on local installation will be different than on your server. On the server, when you set up a database there is an additional string (view the blacked part in image below)

You will have to take the string under the blacked part (which i have blacked out for security reasons). It shall be visible to you in your MySQL Databases panel. The structure will be like:
Code: Select all
string_DBName

string = usually the first 8characters of your domain user name if on cPanel
where DBName = the name of the database that your create. It is not more than 8characters long if you are using cPanel.

#5
Same shall be applicable to your Username as described in #4 explanation above.
Code: Select all
string_UserName

Remember the passwords are case sensitive. So fill in the password that you used while creating your user to the database.

Happy Couch-ing :D
