Ok ill try that. Im sorry im very new at all this and I dont know all the technical terms. What is my "client" and how do I upgrade it? I tried setting up a MySQL database using both 4.1 and 5.0 and neither work. So you think if I call my host they will know what im talking about. Im sorry for being so naive on the topic but im just about as much of a beginner as you can be.

The only option I have is "MySQL Standard".

Re: Problems with installation (8 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 troubleshooting)
I had been using that video tutorial as well as another one (which was a little hard to follow because I am using xp, not vista and im also using dreamweaver) and I watch what the user does in the video and I enter everything properly and when get gets to the page where you have to copy the code into the new config file, I just get a blank page and the tutorial doesnt address that, any ideas?
Ok so I wasnt getting this message before now now I am getting a message saying "
PunBB reported: Unable to connect to MySQL server. MySQL reported: Unknown MySQL Server Host 'beyedj99' (11004)" or "PunBB reported: Unable to connect to MySQL server. MySQL reported: Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client"
What does this mean? I have my mysql set up through godaddy, is there something wrong with that? Im inputting the information exactly as I have it set up and still nothing.

Topic: Problems with installation (8 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 troubleshooting)
Hi, im completely new to the world of setting up a PunBB forum and am having trouble with one of the final steps of setting up my forum. I made it as far as the installation page where you input all the info (where it asks for database server name, admin info, etc...) and I fill out everything to the best of my knowledge (I set up my hosting with godaddy.com so it has a mysql database which I set up) and when I click "start install" I just get a blank screen. Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong? I am really lost and am getting frustrated because it took me quite a while to get this far and I am so close to completion. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
