accessing ubb threads users

[rcull]

I am trying to use the ubb threads user data. When doing the install I get error:

Warning: mysql_connect(): Access denied for user: 'team@localhost' (Using password: YES) in /home/teambuic/public_html/classifieds/install.php on line 1020
I cannot connect to the Members database.

I am obviously failing, probably with the way I am entering the username or password for the ubb threads....

I just keep looking and changing it, without getting it. Is there a hint to my problem in "team@localhost" or "password: YES"

Thanks

You need to enter the mysql username and password to connect to the threads database not the board username.

still fighting with this...

I think I shouldn't be using the same user in both the threads and the ppclassifieds, but this doesn't seem to be solving all my problems.

I get a little farther, but am now turning up this error:

MySQL error reported!

Script: adm-index

Query: SELECT userid,username,email,password,usergroupid,offset FROM pp_users WHERE userid='-1'

Result: Table 'teambuic_forum.pp_users' doesn't exist

Database handle: Resource id #8


by changing the prefix during installation from pp_ to w3t_ I can change the error to something that more resembles what is in my database. Would "users" be case sensitive? In my threads installation, the file name is "w3t_Users" . The w3t_ prefix must be a default for the threads. Should prefixes be avoided when setting up databases?

Thanks

Looks to me like your trying to select internal installation instead of external where you would select threads as the integration type.

Try starting from the beginning going slowly making sure of each and every step that you enter the proper information to connect to the proper databases table prefix's etc and that you select EXTERNAL when it asks integration type then select from the drop down threads

The query you post above is a photopost internal one which tells me you selected internal install.

Your absolutely right! After a while you just start making changes and get careless!

Thank you
