Installation Help

Hello, new to PHP and MySQL, and trying to install ltwCalendar. I have seen similar posts with the same problems, but could not follow the solution, if any.

I have PHP 4.3.7 and MySQL 4.1.7, on a W2K Server usin IIS as the web server.

I have downloaded and extracted the files to the wwroot directory, and applied the proper permissions. I have also created the user ltwuser in MySQL (using MySQL Control Center). I have also gone through ltw_config.php and adjusted all the parameters I thought needed to be. When running, http://domain/directory/ltw_install.php, i recieve the following error:

ltwCalendar Installer (v4.0)
Error: Connection to MySQL server localhost failed.
Error: Connection to MySQL server localhost failed.
Error: Connection to MySQL server localhost failed.
Getting a list of tables from the database.

Warning: mysql_query(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in C:Inetpubwwwrootcalendarprivateltw_classes.php on line 1247
Error: A problem was encountered while executing this query.
$query

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
show tables
Error: Fatal db Error.

I figure this could and probably is a MySQL issues somewhere, I am just not experienced enough yet to troubleshoot.

Any help is greatly appreciated,
Chris

It might be important to note that the user, ltwuser, on the host % has all privileges with grant option, globally.

Aslo here is the portion of ltw_config.php pertaining to the MySQL DB:

// Define the database connection parameters.
// Currently only db_type = 1 (My SQL) is supported.
$ltw_config['db_type'] = 1;
$ltw_config['db_server'] = 'localhost';
$ltw_config['db_name'] = 'calendar';
$ltw_config['db_user'] = 'ltwuser';
$ltw_config['db_pass'] = 'ltwpass';
$ltw_config['db_persistent'] = false;

// Define the table names in the database to use
$ltw_config['db_table_calendar']= 'ltw_eventsv4';
$ltw_config['db_table_category']= 'ltw_categoryv4';
$ltw_config['db_table_users'] = 'ltw_usersv4';
$ltw_config['db_table_log'] = 'ltw_logv4';

Not sure why the status changed on this post. I have not recieved any replies....

I have been just trying to modify the settings in ltw_config.php and the users and permissions in MySQL. I have gone so far as to set ltw_config.php to use root% and the root password.

I am at a loss...
