None of that has anything to do with my problem. I am able to access both the UniServer and the Joomla installation via browsing to either http://localhost/ and http://localhost/joomla/ or http://127.0.0.1/ and http://127.0.0.1/joomla/ in Firefox. As well, my C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts is already set to "127.0.0.1 localhost" with both of these lines commented out by default; "#127.0.0.1 localhost" & "#::1 localhost" I have since deleted the entire UniServer and then completed a clean install using Nano 5.7.4. In this install, I created my new MySQL database but used a new MySQL user instead of ROOT but did not grant global access, only granting full database privileges. Upon getting to the Joomla Database Configuration screen, I used the following settings. - Database Type: mySQL - Host Name: 127.0.0.1 - Username: user01 - Password: open4me - Database Name: user01 Now I get a completely different error upon configuration submission. You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'TYPE=MyISAM CHARACTER SET `utf8`' at line 29 SQL=CREATE TABLE `jos_banner` ( `bid` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment, `cid` int(11) NOT NULL default '0', `type` varchar(30) NOT NULL default 'banner', `name` varchar(255) NOT NULL default '', `alias` varchar(255) NOT NULL default '', `imptotal` int(11) NOT NULL default '0', `impmade` int(11) NOT NULL default '0', `clicks` int(11) NOT NULL default '0', `imageurl` varchar(100) NOT NULL default '', `clickurl` varchar(200) NOT NULL default '', `date` datetime default NULL, `showBanner` tinyint(1) NOT NULL default '0', `checked_out` tinyint(1) NOT NULL default '0', `checked_out_time` datetime NOT NULL default '0000-00-00 00:00:00', `editor` varchar(50) default NULL, `custombannercode` text, `catid` INTEGER UNSIGNED NOT NULL DEFAULT 0, `description` TEXT NOT NULL DEFAULT '', `sticky` TINYINT(1) UNSIGNED NOT NULL DEFAULT 0, `ordering` INTEGER NOT NULL DEFAULT 0, `publish_up` datetime NOT NULL default '0000-00-00 00:00:00', `publish_down` datetime NOT NULL default '0000-00-00 00:00:00', `tags` TEXT NOT NULL DEFAULT '', `params` TEXT NOT NULL DEFAULT '', PRIMARY KEY (`bid`), KEY `viewbanner` (`showBanner`), INDEX `idx_banner_catid`(`catid`) ) TYPE=MyISAM CHARACTER SET `utf8` I searched some more and found information about V55_Joomla_1_5_15a.exe buried in an older announcements post. I then tried the Uniform Server Joomla plugin as listed on the Uniform Server 5.5-Nano, Released Announcements page. Upon using this plugin, I'm able to have a working Joomla. So, what gives?! Why is it that it seems that Joomla can be setup to run on the UniServer but we can't actually do so ourselves?

You didn't actually explain the VC differences nor the run-times differences and by doing so, you've only introduced confusion into the mix by not expounding on each; oh, and you failed to actually provide an answer to my question...

I am beginning with a clean UniServer Nano5.7.4 and default Joomla 1.5.22 install. I changed all of the UniServer security name/password [user01/open4me] combinations and set the mySQL password as above. I created my database, joom1, via phpMyAdmin. I then go to setup Joomla and get as far as the database configuration screen. - Database Type: mySQL - Host Name: localhost [and tried 127.0.0.1] - Username: user01 - Password: open4me - Database Name: joom1 At that point, I get the following error upon attempting to submit my configuration choices. Error: Could not connect to the database. Connector returned number: Unable to connect to the database:Could not connect to MySQL Any ideas as to what the issue may be? Did I miss anything?

I can't find a straight answer anywhere... I currently have Carbo 6.1.4 but I get the following: - Uniform Server Version Check - Checking Version... A Newer version of the Uniform Server is available! New Version: 5.7.4-Nano Installed Version: 6.1.4-Carbo You can get the newer version from our website by clicking the link below. Uniform Server Website I was under the impression that Carbo was a VC9 version and Nano was a VC6. So, what is the exact differences of these two and when should one be utilized over the other?
