Going by what I've been able to learn from prior versions - modifying the values in config.php would solve this

Your error says it all.

Very very very basic PHP/MySQL . I dont hate you as your a n00b but this is very simple stuff which is also outlined in the install instructions.

As Redux has bugs, issues and is very restrictive then really if you cannot do simple stuff like this then you really should not try and run a game until you have learnt some.

i know its simple stuff but i cant find config.php

I imagine the installer would create one - if not, it's possible there is a permission error; although if I recall correctly, the V2 mccodes did perform limited permission checking (not that that is much of a seal of approval)

Assuming you are with a web host, please consult them about this error.

You are paying them, they should assist you with any configuration of your scripts if you are an a shared hosting package.

A bit of technical info' if you want to fix it yourself:

"root" is the default mysql superuser account, most hosting companies do not allow you to connect with this user.

You should have your own mySQL username/password combination, the username would most likely be eight letter word, in your case "grandmal".

Along with that, you use your password, this would also most likely be the password you use for logging into your control panel.

Additionally, you need to create a database, this can be found under the "Databases" tab on most control panels.

After you have everything; your username, password and database name, you should enter those when the installer prompts for them.

Good luck.

That file merely contains a copied mySQL class MCCodes ships with V2.x.
