Hi,

I'm trying to get Music Collection working with XAMPP running on Win 10.

I've got it working on my live site, but get the error: Error displaying the error page: Application Instantiation Error: Could not connect to MySQL.

I've used the following code to test locally:
$servername = "localhost";
$username = "username"; // not the actual username and password.
$password = "password";

try {
$conn = new PDO("mysql:host=$servername;dbname=dbname", $username, $password); // not the actual dbname
// set the PDO error mode to exception
$conn->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION);
echo "Connected successfully";
}
catch(PDOException $e)
{
echo "Connection failed: " . $e->getMessage();
}
?>

and it connects ok.

These are the credential in the configuration.php in the root directory. Do I have to set them somewhere else, also?

Tried debugging in Netbeans, but can't get it to build so have to step through line by line - but I always seem to miss where the error is raised! Where is it raised?

Sorry - long post but I'm a bit stuck!

Thanks, Rob
