My b2evolution Version: Not Entered

My ISP gives me an IP address for the MYSQL database I control.
I found I needed to replace 'localhost' with the IP address befor evo would install.
It did so successfully.
However at the next stage, creating a new blog, evo returns 'Unexpected error'

The detail screen shows that it cannot access the database using [username]@server follwed by ip address.

I suspect that the syntax of the login to the database is somehow wrong. Can anybody help further?

hi ffaygord,

Welcome to the forums.
Try [username]@ip

Good luck

It seemed the issue was with the SQL server username I used.
However when one is setting up for the first time you have no control of the actual syntax sent to the server. I entered [username] and B2 generated [username]@server + [IP]. Whilst I really don't need to know now, where would one override the format of that action?

To another issue:

I am trying to create new albums in the photoblog. How is that done?
And how does opne access the new categories created if they are indeed the albums? The manual only talks about uploading images to posts.

thanks

John
