[Typo3-UG CH] install tool, database password, mysql connection failure

[Michael Stucki]

Hallo Christina,

da Du schon in der CH-Usergroup reinschreibst kannst Du das
selbstverständlich gleich auf deutsch tun :-)

> I have installed Typo3 Quickstart. The install tool doesn't seem to do
> what it should be doing. It would not accept database passwords and as a
> consequence it cannot connect to mysql. Apache works and the only link
> that also works is to the document/tutorial. If I try to get into the
> frontend and backend tools it keeps on telling me that the current
> username, password or host was not accepted. Even the link to the install
> tool doesn't work, I get to it through start/programs/typo3... even there
> must be something wrong...

Enthält dein DB-Passwort irgendwelche Sonderzeichen? Die werden drum nicht
immer akzeptiert. Probiers mal ohne aus...

Gruss - michael
