From your PM to me earlier today.
I'm sorry to bother you with this, but I do need someone with expertise, patience, and a decent "bedside manner." If you would look over the history of my problem, at this thread
mySql Problem then I would be grateful, sir.
Thank you for your time.
Its usually good practice to post support answers in the public forum, so others can also benifit from them.
Step 1 passed. Step 2, I entered the correct connection information that had been verified by the test script. Step 3 gave me the message "Connecting To Server"
As Ruben and Gizmo has posted earlier, this sounds exactly like a DATABASE CONNECTION ISSUE on your web server. You'll need to get the database connection information directly from your server/webhost.
You mentioned that you downloaded the Test Script and used information from that script for connecting to the DB. If you are coming from an upgrade after moving to a new server, you are probably pulling in old server connection information from config files which are irrelevant to your new server.
Again, those details should be retrieved from your current server/webhost. Not from an old install.
My suggestions:
For a new install:
1) Download a fresh copy of the ubbthreads-7-6-1 archive from Member area.
2) Follow the directions listed here:
