I just downloaded Mantis 2.26.0, extracted to a directory on my server and accessed the install.php page.
Note: I did not edit any files after unpacking the zip download.
Here I entered these values:
Code: Select all
Type of Database: Mysql Improved
Hostname (for Database Server): localhost
Username (for Database): root
Password (for Database): DontHackMeBro
Database name (for Database): bugtracker
Admin Username (to create Database if required): root
Admin Password (to create Database if required): DontHackMeBro
Database Table Prefix: mantis
Database Plugin Table Prefix: plugin
Database Table Suffix: _table
Default Time Zone: New York
Print SQL Queries instead of Writing to the Database: NOT CHECKED
Code: Select all
Attempting to connect to database as admin
BAD
Does administrative user have access to the database? ( )
I also use phpMyAdmin on the same server, and am able to log in without an issue with the same root username/password above. (No that's not my real password )
Why is this error happening exactly? What is the fix?
