Hello,

I was following the Joomla integration guide below:

http://roster.thumann.dk/joomla_guide/#phpbb_intro

However, when I clicked the link "go to administration panel" to configure the board, I got the following error:

Warning: mysql_query() [function.mysql-query]: Access denied for user 'theaf5'@'localhost' (using password: NO) in /home/theaf5/public_html/components/com_forum/extension.inc on line 22

Can someone please tell me what's wrong and what I can do to fix this? Thank you very much!

Looks like a MySQL connection problem.

- Did you configure the user 'theaf5' to have no password?
- If you connect to your database and type:
[quote}use mysql
select hosy,user from user where user='theaf5'

Does the line with the username 'theaf5' say '%' or 'localhost'?

Somehow '%' tends to mean: all hosts except localhost, so if you want to be able to connect to the database and it's on the same host as you php scripts, host needs to be 'localhost'.
