I Can't Install A Forum Software Via Softaculous!

[Prat's]

Hello,

When I try to install a forum software on my site I get the below error message,

 

The following errors were found :

• The MySQL Database could not be selected.
  

I tried to change the database name but in vain. Wondering now that what to do? Please, anyone could help me out of this issue would be really appreciating. Thank you for your time!

Hmm... looks like we're going to need to recompile apache....

[Prat's]

hmm....but how to do that?

[Wizard]

xaav already did it. Does your Softaculous install work now?

[Prat's]

No, Still I can't install forum software. Same error message is displaying.

 

And bad news is that even i can't install wordpress or any blog software too! I fear i think i will not be able to install any other software on the site!

Maybe you can install it manually.

Install it on a localhost and create the same databases here and upload the files created on the localhost.

Thank you Tjoene for your suggestion......but really sorry to inform.....that I am completely newbie in installing any sort of software on server manually.So, it will be highly appreciated if you provide me with any link so as it acts as guide for me to install a software on the server and all those databases creation!

 

Between, I guess you might be completely freaking out with such a stupid question but sorry I really don't know about this stuff.

And this for moving to a new server: http://codex.wordpre...to_a_New_Server

 

With these instructions you should be able to do the trick.

It might be a bit difficult for you, but if you follow the instructions, you should be fine.
