After searching google for a hour or so I found a the fix. So for those of you who are frustrated on the install here is the direct fix.
Resource: Invisionpower
Quote:
If your MySQL server runs on a non-standard port, you should enter a colon and the port number after the SQL Host Name. For example, if your SQL server is running on port 3308 on localhost, you would enter
localhost:3308
As the SQL Host.
If you attempt to install IPB on a non-default port, AND your server has the mysqli PHP extension installed, the insallation will fail with an error of Unknown MySQL server host localhost:3308
To correct this, you need to force IPB to use the mysql PHP extension rather than the mysqli extension. To do this, you would need to edit the /ips_kernel/class_db_mysql.php file and uncomment this line
|
Code:
//define( 'FORCE_MYSQL_ONLY', 1 );
All I did was go into /ips_kernel/class_db_mysql.php searched for //define( 'FORCE_MYSQL_ONLY', 1 ); and removed the // then hit save and ran the installer again worked perfect.
Hope this helps, Worked for me.
