Hello all,

My first time using SilverStripe and I have hit a stumbling block on the installation. I have spent several hours trying to sort the problem but just cannot seem to.

I have installed plenty of Wordpress/Zen Cart/etc sites and the setup procedure is very similar.

Every time I try and enter the database details on the install.php page I get the following;

"Database access credentials correct"
"That username/password doesn't work:"

This may sound silly but do I need to enter the details below to the _config file manually prior to installation or should the install do it manually.

"type" => "MySQLDatabase",
   "server" => "localhost",
   "username" => "",
   "password" => "",
   "database" => "",

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

No database password is generally fine in a development environment, but not in production.

127.0.0.1 and localhost are the same, so no problem there.

Cheers,
Sean
