Chapter 15 Forum Login Failure

[Indigo11]

For some reason, I cannot log into the forum. I am running it on a windows XP system with AMP installed. I am using the unmodified source code that I downloaded (I tried this after having problems with a version I was customizing).

Each time I attempt to login, it goes to the index page, the same as it will if I don't enter any email address and password. I also cannot create accounts. It accepts the input, but then goes back to the index page, and when I check the database itself, the new account is not there. I know it is connecting to the database, or I wouldn't have gotten this far.

If anyone has any ideas or has run into this themselves, please let me know.

On this issue, it must have something to do with the server setup, because it works once I post the site to my host. I'd still like to know what is causing it so that I can continue testing it locally.

On the host server there is a different problem. It displays:

Access denied for user: '[email protected].%' to database 'dbname'
CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE tmp ( topic_id INT(11) NOT NULL DEFAULT 0, postdate datetime NOT NULL default '0000-00-00 00:00:00');

whenever I try to go to one of the forums. (I changed the username, ip and database name from what is in the actual error). Does anyone know what could cause this.

You do not seem to have permissions to access the database dbname
