I've been trying to deploy a new install with Alerion, and I keep getting the following error:
Could not connect to the database. Connector returned number: Could not connect to MySQL.
I did it with no DB created, tried creating a DB and a user... still, can't move past that step. Also changed it to MySQL instead of MySQLi... tried Postgre, too.
Are you trying to upload to a host or a localserver? Either way if you get the "Could not connect to the database. Connector returned number" then you are entering the wrong details in the DB config window. Check very carefully.
I have done this over and over, and on no other install have I had this many issues. I've done several plain Joomla installs without incident... it is only this Rocketlauncher install that is giving me fits.
I have changed and simplified the passwords to make sure there isn't an entry mistake. All of the other information matches. I have managed to get other responses, but none of the changes have worked... changing permissions gives a different error... but still no solutions.
An error occurred while trying to create the database ghusa.
The user may not have enough privileges to create a database. The required database may need to be created separately before you can install Joomla!.
If I change the username, this is the message. So, I created that username in the DB manager... gave it full privileges. Still not enough...

OK, I got the launcher past that step. My host apparently has a little more to the DB name than they let on...
On my DB list it is:
example_name
What I had to allow it to do is"
sovdfb_example_name
When I looked at previous installs and experimental installs, NONE of them showed the random letters in the front, only:
example_name
Now it is on the installation screen and might be hanging up there. How long should it hang on that screen?

Reloaded the page, went through all of the screens again, and it loaded. Woot... I guess I have it licked...
Thank you for your help. Host said it was you guys, but they were wrong.
