Database connection error

Hi

I got to step 2 Database install, but it won't accept any of the details that I enter...and I know they are correct.

Hostname:    localhost or ip address
Username:    root
Password:     *password for above db user*
Database:     ficba_aka

Please please please help.....

Thanks

Julian

Hi Julian. What is the error message you get?

Hi Denis,

The error is:

Error: Could not connect to the database! Please, make sure the details are correct.

Did any of you ever solve this?

I just installed 1.3.3 and have the same problem.

Akaunting will lose a lot of advocates with this problem.  I will wait a week for response, but if no support on it, go eleswhere.  As with Felix, I know the db is accessible by the user, but not via the install script.  Some clarification would help, admin?

For me, installing Akaunting is as simple as installing WordPress. Database connection error has nothing to do with Akaunting itself but your database engine settings so you should definitely contact your hosting provider.

@Felix

There is no simple to create a database, see the options in the WordPress site, so if you're going to contribute to the docs, don't suggest just the way it worked for you but research the most well-known ways.

@Admins

Why not offer a paid installation service? Maybe also make sharable with the community so that tech-guys can make the installation of non-techs and get some bucks.
