Hi,
While doing the Set up on Windows, I'm stuck in the Database Initiaalization step.
I entered the falowing details:
<b>Type:</b>MySQL
<b>Servername:</b>localhost
<b>Username:</b>root
<b>Password:</b>************

But when I click the button next, it shows me the fallowing error: "The database would not accept the connection, please review your settings and try again."

I'm using the fallowing php, MySQL and Apache versions:
<b>php:</b>4.4.4
<b>Apache:</b>1.3.34
<b>MySQL:</b>5.0.27

Can Anyone help me please!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi,

I remember that I had a problem one time, It wasn't the fault of Exponential but MySQL
because the password wasn't supported...

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/old-client.html

I had re-define the password like the doc and it was ok ..
