Can't Get Installer To Work...

[Dragunwerks]

Hey, when I  try to install YaBB SE on my coolfreepages.com account, I get the following:

Warning: fopen("./Settings.php","w") - Permission denied in /users/ionichost.com/cold/boards/install.php on line 97

Warning: Supplied argument is not a valid File-Handle resource in /users/ionichost.com/cold/boards/install.php on line 99

Warning: Supplied argument is not a valid File-Handle resource in /users/ionichost.com/cold/boards/install.php on line 100

Warning: Access denied for user: 'DB_nac49109@localhost' (Using password: YES) in /users/ionichost.com/cold/boards/install.php on line 102

Warning: MySQL Connection Failed: Access denied for user: 'DB_nac49109@localhost' (Using password: YES) in /users/ionichost.com/cold/boards/install.php on line 102
Cannot connect to database server with given data

Any ideas?

My guess is you didn't chmod your directory correctly, and you filled out the wrong username/password/address for your mysql server.

Do I only CHMOD the YaBBSE directory to 777?

Ok, I got rid of some of the errors, bu I'm still getting:

Warning: Access denied for user: 'DB_nac49019@localhost' (Using password: YES) in /users/ionichost.com/cold/boards/install.php on line 102

Warning: MySQL Connection Failed: Access denied for user: 'DB_nac49019@localhost' (Using password: YES) in /users/ionichost.com/cold/boards/install.php on line 102

That is usally just a password messup

Ok, got rid of those NOW i get:

Cannot use database /users/ionichost.com/cold/boards, connection to server succeeded by the way.

You are logged in to the database server, but you do not have access to the specified database.

Make sure you have a database by that name, which you have access to, or, you have general rights to create databases on that server. Ofcourse, the user you now have used to log in with has to be entitled to do all this.

i see you put in a path into the dbname... just use some name like forum, bbs, or yabb.

Alot of peoples hosts only give people access to one database, its usually named after your username to your account or your websites name.
