installation error in xampp

[dkaip]

I just install xampp(c:/xampp) in win7 and make a new database and user with all privileges, then elxis in c:/xampp/elxis and installation. In step 5 i have the message ...

Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Access denied for user 'abc'@'localhost' (using password: YES) in C:\xampp\htdocs\elxis\includes\adodb\drivers\adodb-mysql.inc.php on line 364


As gurus says must open configuration.php file and put in mostConfig-password='';   the user password.  But configuration.php file in elxis dir have size 0. Any ideas?

I think that you have read nothing before installing elxis... not even the warnings that the installer printed during installation.

so..

As we state here:
http://wiki.elxis.org/wiki/Elxis_Installation_Guide

    PHP version must be >= 5.0.0 for any elxis version later from 2008.1. If you see an Elxis warning regarding Timezone you should edit php.ini and set the proper timezone.
    Zlib compression support is not mandatory unless you want to make use of it, zlib compression is not enabled by default, you can enabled it thought Global config after installation if your system supports it.
    XML must be available at your system, elxis widely uses XML.
    Configuration.php probably is unwritable by this moment, you can use your favorite ftp client to make it writable(777) in order elxis be able to update configuration.php contents for you and save time by not copying content and manually modify-upload configuration.php file at your elxis directory.

An here:
http://wiki.elxis.org/wiki/Elxis_Installation_Guide#FTP_access__.28step_3.29

The contents of this file will be copied to Elxis global configuration file (configuration.php) after installation is complete. This file must be writeable in order for the installer to be able to write in it. You can alternatively enable FTP access. Elxis installer will be able to write in it even if it is not writeable. In the top of the Step 3 page you see the full path to this file and if it is writeable or not.

if configuration.php is  zero length file...
and even you can manually upload it now i will highly suggest you to
reinstall all from the beginning...

read and see

********
i wonder how a zero-length configuration.php can pass in your sql-server information like pass and username ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

At least one fatal error occured. You can not continue. The Elxis installer error messages follows:
• Could not connect to the database.

Any ideas?

Also in my phphmyadmin ...

and this>

Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Access denied for user 'abc'@'localhost' (using password: YES) in C:\xampp\htdocs\elxis\includes\adodb\drivers\adodb-mysql.inc.php on line 364

are not the same errors... 1st means that maybe sql is down or not accept connections.. 2nd error that pass-username are wrong..

what error code you get?

this->

Also in my phphmyadmin ...
abc     %      global       ALL PRIVILEGES    Grand    Yes
database-specific    ALL PRIVILEGES  Grand Yes   

means that sql accepts connections from anywhere (%)


in phpmyadmin(is easier) try to add the user abc to localhost
to see something like:
abc    @localohost     global       ALL PRIVILEGES    Grand    Yes
