You are supposed to alter the word within the "" (user) to to the login to your MySQL database. For istance:
$conf['mysql_user'] = "DB_loginname";

Hope this is helpful

For those of you that are monitoring this thread.
in view of the fact that when i run the setup.php i am getting "MySQL Error: Could not select the database - it would sound like a fault in the database its self.
If that is the case what can i do about it - load the back up or drop it and start over?
Thanks

hi all,
this morning I got this message as I attempted to log on:
MySQL Query ( SELECT *, (date + 0) AS date FROM albums WHERE `folder`='2006 0524 010 Windsor Castle' LIMIT 1; ) Failed. Error: No database selected
Does this indicate a corrupt database or a miss configured config file?
[my file names consist of "date"+"month"+"day"+"a sequential code"+"location"

Eventually I cleared out the entire zenphotos folder and reinstalled zenphotos and this time it took like a duck to water - there must have been a remnant left over from the previous install that was hooking the system.
Many thanks to those who helped - i only have to figure out why I now get a "you don't have an index file in the zen-photo folder!
