Install problems

Hi! I am attempting to install phpdig-1.8.9-rc1 from a fresh install. I sign in and begin filling out the form to the best of my knowledge and I get an error that reads...

Can't connect to database
Verify connection datas

So I began to troubleshoot. I checked my privileges. I have access to all privileges. I created the phpdig database manually. I verified that safe mode was off.

I have installed this program before using another webhost and I really didn't have a problem creating the database or the tables.

Any suggestions to make this headache go away would be much appreciated.

it may be worth your while using the sql files to setup your database then use phpadmin to check they are all in place and the tables are correct.
The address of the database has to be spot on unless it is localhost.
You could try and edit the Auth.php file to show a 1 instead of zero which may kick it into action and then log off, sometimes it is the delay in connecting that causes the problem.
