    I have several MYSQL databases so I am familiar with them.
    In the trial version of aMember error log I get this message

    "Error. Please configure 'phpNuke' plugin at aMember CP -> Setup -> phpNuke"

    I have tried every combination for the phpNuke Board Db and Prefix without success. I get the following error :

    "phpNuke Board Db and Prefix - incorrect value. Error: Access denied for user: 'dbo168739897@%' to database 'db168998741'"

    My database name and prefix are <db168998741.nuke> without the brackets.
    What am I missing or doing wrong? I had access and could log into my secured area but am not able to now. Thanks for the help.

    Kioni,
    in your case, it would be better to move/reinstall aMember tables into the same database with phpBB, because your host creates a separate MySQL user for every MySQL database.

    Hi Alex, I switch aMember to my phpnuke mysql database prior to getting your response. Great minds think alike huh? Anyway, I am still unable to configure the plugin. I continue to get the same error except the database names are the same.

    It is just impossible. Compare database access detalis in phpNuke config.php and aMember's config.inc.php. Do you use the same MySQL username/password?

    In any case, it is better to contact support with FTP info.

    When I compare the two config files the only difference is the
    database prefix

    'amember_';

    "nuke";

    The database name, username, password and host address are the same.

    I have tried these combinations:


    Database host and prefix
    db415.perfora.net.nuke_

    Database name and prefix
    db168998741.nuke_
    phpNuke Board Db and Prefix - incorrect value. Error: Table 'db168998741.nuke_nsngr_users' doesn't exist

    Databeusername.nuke_

    I also tried with the amember_ prefix and continue to get an error with the plugin.

    All is correct with aMember, but have you phpNuke NSNGroups plugin installed?

    If so, please try to open your database "db168998741" via phpMyAdmin (it is usually provided in webhosting control panel -> MySQL Databases). Do you see table named "nuke_nsngr_users" ?

    Alex, no I do not have the phpNuke NSNGroups plugin installed. I downloaded it to install after reading your reply. However the instructions are confusing as heck. I am told ".txt files should be copied into your .php files, delete the .txt files, and then upload the .php files" however the folder subdirectories in "Edits_For_Core_Files" is not the same as the <html> directory files because there are no .php files that mirror the .txt files. Think I need help on this part or someone should rewrite the install program for NSNGroups. Did the author mean to copy the contents of the .txt files and save as .php files? Hopefully this is the last step for configuring aMember LOL!

    Kioni, it is not about configuring aMember at all! :) It is all dummy and buggy phpNuke that does not have working usergroups/permissions management. If you contact us via helpdesk, we will try to help with NSNGroups installation.
