I am in the same camp. SuSE linux server, copied code up and keep on getting “Cannot Select DB”.
define(‘BBDB_NAME’, ‘mas_ed’); // The name of the database
define(‘BBDB_USER’, ‘root’); // Your MySQL username
define(‘BBDB_PASSWORD’, ‘**thePassword**’); // …and password
define(‘BBDB_HOST’, ‘localhost’); // 99% chance you won’t need to change this value
Tried other DB names (began with bbpress as per sample).
Are there any other directory rights or other things that need to be set?
