Check carefuly that the database name, username and password are correct.

Im pretty sure its all correct after going over it about 50 times though mysql gave me a bunch of crap when i tried to set password for the db

[babygurl69]

oh well im damn near over it. i really really wanted to use it but its not worth the stress. any last thing i can try ?

First create the database via phpmyadmin then install Elxis.

Problem solved.     to anyone thats using mysql that has this same problem,  under database path leave it empty.  i was putting a path to my database file, it threw me off a little bit because the instructions beside it mentioned putting a path in there so i assumed it also inclided mysql.  maybe on the next version they will define it a little more

  i ended up creating over 10 extra databases that i dont need because i thought i was doing something wrong when i was configuring them. lol

maybe on the next version they will define it a little more

Its already clarified.
