I have just uploaded it to my website and I am trying to install it, but I'm having some difficulties.

The first step is to give write access to the following files:
/your/path/to/<phpopenchat-2.x.x>/includes/defaults_inc.php
/your/path/to/<phpopenchat-2.x.x>/html/.htaccess

The first file was fine, I did that, but I don't have the second file. I've downloaded this from different sources thinking perhaps the zip file was messed up, but they are all the same. What am I doing wrong? 😕

    .htaccess is a file that can do various things. Simply make the file and give the script access to it. Google a .htaccess tutorial if you're curious as to what it can be used for.

      Okay, I did that, and now I have started the installer. I got to the second step. It asked me what database I wanted to use. For some reason there were no existing databases, but I had room for one more, so I told it I would create one. I put in a name "chat2" (I already have one named "chat") and when I pushed Next it gave me this error:

      Error creating database: %s Access denied for user: '@' to database 'chat2'

      I put in my username and password just like I have on every other MYSQL-related script, so I don't think that's the problem. :queasy:
