Give me as much information about your installation as you can.

PHP version, quickinstall config file (i don't need passwords), database back-end (mysql?), database version. Stuff like that.

And when exactly do you get the error? What options do you have selected? Are there places where you don't get it?

Thanks.

Reset your DB password in WAMP. It's now set to something when it was empty before, apparently. Either that or your DB user doesn't have access to the DB.

I went into the config and
/**
* These are the database settings.
* dbms should be either firebird, mysqli, mysql, mssql, mssql_odbc, oracle, postgres, sqlite, if you are unsure, put in mysql
* if you're running this on localhost (which you should be!), dbhost and dbport can be left empty (in most cases)
* dbuser and dbpass are your database connection details, table_prefix should stay phpbb_, unless you know what you're doing
*/
'dbms' => 'mysql',
'dbhost' => 'localhost',
'dbport' => '',
'dbuser' => 'root',
'dbpasswd' => '',


changed these. Seems to be working.
Thanks

Quite welcome.

A little note here, if you make a new folder in phpBB3_alt for 3.0.5, you can quickinstall 3.0.5
And, if you've got an SVN client, you may be able to use the 3.0.6-dev copy too.

shouldn't the new version be available soon?

Just add an alternate environment and toss in a copy of phpBB 3.0.5, it works. I've tried it also with the 3.0.6 SVN too.

I will test this with phpBB 3.0.7 and post back the results!

Wait has this been updated to phpBB 3.0.7?

No, please try out this version: http://github.com/tumba25/phpbb-quickinstall

Tumba25 is working on a new version.
