Re: MySql Error

Inside file glpi/config/config_db.php

Do you have the correct info such as username and password and host and database?
var $dbhost = 'localhost'
var $dbuser     = 'root'
var $dbpassword= '';
var $dbdefault    = 'glpi_db';

Is the Mysql server running on the new host? -- You can not just copy the GLPI folder to another computer.
**If your MySQL database is still on the old computer then edit the glpi/config/config_db.php and tell it the IP of the host and verify the host will have correct firewall permissions to allow MySql connections from the other computer.
**If you transferred the MySQL database to the new computer which is also running MySQL - perhaps you need to update the root password in your config file?
Hope this helps you - not much info was given so please be as precise as possible ****

Re: MySql Error

hello
is there also a way to change the default port (3306) to something other from mysql in the config_db.php? we can't run mysql on port 3306.
thanks, regards
