Hello. I tried installing the board several times, making sure that it meets all the requirements, but it won't go further than 39% of the installation process and I see the following error: An error has accured while trying to connect to your database: Connecting to MySQL server 'localhost' failed: SQLSTATE[HY000] [1049] Unknown database 'wcf'

I don't understand why it wouldn't recognize the database in wcf. I tried a local installation in two other machines (a Macbook and another PC Windows using different webserver applications) and both times I got the same error as above. However, in those cases I could continue the installation changing the number in the installation number tab to 0 or to 2. For some reason using 1 never works for me. Of course, they were first installations and there wasn't any previous version of the wbb installed. This time not even the above mentioned trick works and I'm simply stuck.

Any help would be highly appreciated.

Thank you.

Hi,

Where can I buy the community gallery plugin? I see it on list if I search for it in ACP > Search packages, but it doesn't let me install it with my serial number and license code credentials. I guess it's because it's not free anymore? I looked for it in the Plugin store but couldn't find it. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Never mind, I just saw it on the homepage. I must getting blind

People should always explain later how they fix their own issues.. I can't count on my two hands how many threads I came across whilst looking/searching for helpful ideas, suggestions, and tips on how to fix things, where the users said they fixed it but never explained HOW they fixed it. It's irksome, cause I could have fixed the issue immediately but instead found myself asking staff via private messages and getting the issues fixed hours or days later.. lol.

Amen to that. I was surprised to have found so many posts that would have been so helpful had the members who started simply shared the solution they found instead of closing up with the typical "fixed, thanks." Not to mention that if others join the thread seeking that solution, seldom they receive a reply by that member who "fixed it." Selfish much? Fortunately, there still are quite a few people here very willing to help.

There is no "header.php" file. However, you should use the template editor in the ACP (Design -> Templates).
There you can edit the template header.tpl.

Thanks for your reply. I was able to edit the file correctly and now it works. As well, I discovered that there is a nice plugin that does the job nicely > it's called Header-Patch.

Hello,

Does anybody know where to insert the html code that allows to have Google translator tab show on every page? Do I have to paste the code into the header.php file? Or I can do that by manipulating the templates? If so, which file(s) that I found under ACP > Design > Templates should I look for?

Thank you

He probably edited the .htaccess file. I couldn't find the plugin to change the index. I tried editing the htaccess file, too, as suggested in other similar threads but to no avail. The main page is still Forum and not Portal.

I figured it out...sorry for the false alarm.

I've got the same issue. What did you do to fix it?

Thanks
