Does it mean that there was no problem when installing MantisBT, but there is a problem when running the system (e.g. trying to login)?

I have installed the application on the server but when I click the icon and try to open it, the above error is displayed

Check file D:\xampp\htdocs\mantis\config_inc.php
Are there the right settings for

Code: Select all

	$g_database_name = '';
	$g_db_username = '';
	$g_db_password = '';

Are you able to connect to the database with another application (mysql, phpMyAdmin, ...)

The config_inc.php is a sample file so should I create new one or what should i do? Please provide me with the steps if possible. Thank you

The config_inc.php is a sample file

This is no sample file. If you follow the instructions that I provided how to install MantisBT you will find a) that it does not exist in your downloaded MantisBT and b) it is created when running the MantisBT installer
