Re: The age-old line 58 error!

OK. I'm going to try to explain the error to you one more time since you still don't seem to understand it.

"PunBB reported: Unable to connect to MySQL server. MySQL reported: Access denied for user 'user'@'localhost' (using password: YES)"
The problem there is that the username/password details you supplied for the MySQL server are incorrect. There is no way for PunBB to fix that, you simply need to enter correct details. The error is separate and apart from any other errors, such as a similar error you would get if you gave the correct username/password but your user did not have permission over a given database.

Now:

Then why it works in Linux properly?

Because you set things up properly there. It has nothing to do with the OS and everything to do with you entering details correctly.

How do you plan to automate adding a user to a MySQL server that you don't have correct login information for?

Yes, using the correct login details wink

Well:

The problem: a useless/mystery error message:

Unable to connect to MySQL server. MySQL reported: Access denied for user 'user'@'localhost' (using password: YES)"<

The Solution: simply, a useful message!!, just like:

That's far from being useless or a mystery.  It states pretty clearly exactly what the problem is.

Christs sakes. It's an error message for a board admin. Not a cutesie sign for a five year old. It tells you the error. That is all that is required. 'Styling' it, as you put it, would be about as much use as a chocolate fireguard.
