On my fanupdate page it says, "ERROR: Could not connect to database server." when I have the correct database server name in it. I'm using version 2.2.1 if that is needed.

CODE
// ------------->ADMIN VARIABLES

$fanupdate['admin_username'] = 'erin';
$fanupdate['admin_password'] = md5('CORRECT PASSWORD IS HERE');

// ------------->DATABASE VARIABLES

$fanupdate['dbhost'] = 'localhost';
$fanupdate['dbuser'] = 'erin';
$fanupdate['dbpass'] = 'CORRECT PASSWORD IS HERE';
$fanupdate['dbname'] = 'mysql';


That is everything that I edited and I have everything correct but it's not working. I don't know why it's not working either.

it starts without tables because it hasn't installed itself. i mean connect manually by seeing if you can log in to phpMyAdmin. if you can log in, and see any databases you might have, that means it's not a problem with your mysql server.

that's why i'm wondering what it is you named the database where you're installing fanupdate.
