I re-install XAMP  ,xampp-windows-x64-8.2.0-0-VS16-installer , still  does not work,

Now  there is no error on COntrol pad, but  http://localhost/combu/admin/ or http://127.0.0.1/combu/admin/ still "Could not connect to database:"

I  never met this problem in Combu2

😓

I see in the log above that MySQL is stopping to work (11:33:15 [mysql] Error: MySQL shutdown unexpectedly) so of course you cannot access Combu, you should try to understand why MySQL service is stopping (it has nothing to do with Combu or its version).

You won't be able to connect to Combu database until MySQL service is up and running.

thanks for reply .

now the MySqls is OK  ,but the problem is still there.........

the xampPad  logis

 bug  http://localhost/combu/admin/   show 

Could not connect to database:

Try to use "localhost" instead of "127.0.0.1" for GAME_DB_SERVER, some systems accept one or the other for local connections (check also the user hostmask set for "root" on MySQL Users settings, XAMPP provides http://localhost/phpmyadmin to manage the databases you should try to login with those credentials there). Another test you can do is to set FALSE for GAME_DB_USE_PDO, it may be that your PHP build hasn't the PDO library module installed.

By the way, how did you create the tables? By using the /_setup pages and clicking the button "Execute" or did you copy&paste the SQL queries on phpMyAdmin? Also, have the tables (and fields) capital letters ("Account" not "account")?

HI ,finally I found my account for your forum,

I set FALSE for GAME_DB_USE_PDO, but it does not work

about the Table Name ,

I set FALSE for GAME_DB_USE_PDO,  there will be error when  I click "

Create the database script

"

and Here is the config.php ，  I can not find the problem , just default setting......I did not  change anything except I add the pwd  123456

Here is the config.php 

"how did you create the tables? By using the /_setup pages and clicking the button "Execute" or did you copy&paste the SQL queries on phpMyAdmin? Also, have the tables (and fields) capital letters ("Account" not "account")"

I  think I did it 

I  really need   a  remote control to my computer .... if you like

when I use Combu 2 , there is no so many problem.....

I try set GAME_DB_SERVER is "localhost" or "127.0.0.1"  , both of them    still problem
