Wrong DB Information

[gaetanm]

I'm new to linux running Ubuntu. Copied the OrangeHrm files to my
/var/www/orangehrm2 folder.
access tthrough localhost/orangehrm2
Get up to step 2 "Database configuration."
Accepted the defaults and I get "Wrong DB Information"

Defaults are:
Host Name localhost
DB Name hr_mysql
Privalege Database user root
Privallege Database Password
OrangeHRM database Username Orange
OrangeHRM Database user password

I put in my self as user and password and got the same results

Is there a default user nobody beacuse it comes back with invalid user
when I try to change the ownership

Any help would be graetfull

hi gaetanm,

Try connecting to Mysql from the terminal.
use

Code: Select all

mysql -u root -p

and provide the password when prompted.

If it let you in and shows the mysql console then the password is correct. Otherwise it is wrong.

if correct then check whether there is any database created already.
use

Code: Select all

show databases;

check if hr_mysql exists. if so use some different name in orangehrm installer.

if still problem exists can you attach the screenshot.
and also set proper permissions.
in ubuntu

Code: Select all

chown -R www-data.www-data /var/www
chmod -R 755 /var/www or chmod -R 700 /var/www for more restrictive mode
