Step 2: Test Database

The install script will try to locate your MySQL database and try logging in with the information you entered during Step 1.

If you have not yet gone through and created your MySQL Database yet, please refer back to the Prep for Install section of this user manual for more help on creating your database. The installation will try to connect to your database during Step 2, but if it can't or if the database does not exist, this step will fail.

Once you begin the MySQL database test, the following errors may be returned by MySQL if the installation has any problems connecting to and logging into your database.

The following error codes can be returned from your MySQL database to your install script if there are any problems:

1045	Access Denied for User	Go back to the General Settings form and check your Username and Password entries and try again.
1044	Access Denied for User to Database	Go back to the General Settings form and check your Database Name entry and try again.
2005	Unknown MySQL Server Host	Go back to the General Settings form and check the Database Host entry and try again.
1049	Unknown Database - Doesn't Exist	Go back to the General Settings form and check your Database Name entry and try again.

If your test does not generate any error codes, your database test has passed successfully. You may continue to the next step of the installation.
