Hello! I'm trying to install Coppermine 1.4.22, but there is a problem. I'm using php 5 and mysql 5. This is my info:

MySQL Host: localhost (in this case - carpediemtravel.bg)
MySQL Database Name: carpe_gallery
MySQL Username: carpe_mutha

And my password is ONLY in numbers and letters. I've tried also only letters/numbers... Changed the password, different combinations and so... But no change! It just gives me this error:

Quote
Admin username and password must only contain alphanumeric characters.

And doesn't let me to continue with the installation... Please excuse my bad english... But how can I proceed?

The error message you quote complains about the admin username and password of the admin account that you will be using within coppermine. This is not related to your mysql username and password - those are entirely different animals. Enter the proper information into the proper fields. For the coppermine admin account, use "mutha88" for example. You can make that up during install, as suggested in the docs.

That's nonsense - it's either localhost or carpediemtravel.bg. When in doubt, ask your webhost!

Ah, yes, it really complains about the admin password - didn't considered that. Now everything is working fine. Thank you!
