now the problem is i do not know exactly what to correct in this line 216… someone already mentioned this error @ [diesiraeilla](https://www.dolibarr.org/forum/u/diesiraeilla) but no reasonable reply was given there… I will appreciate any contribution to this.  
also i want to know if i can share doliwamp installation on my LAN network if i decide to use it. Thanks

According to the error message, the provided credentials for the db admin user are either wrong or the address of the database is incorrect, so it cannot be contacted by the install routine. I don’t think there needs to be anything corrected in the source code.

thank you for prompt reply priojk, but this is a new database that am trying to create. I already deleted every previously installed database. every setting is still at default at this moment.

when i added this code to the config of mysql .ini file, the application was installed successfully. it continues to run successfully so long as i don’t remove the code there which makes my database unsecured. I just want to leave this comment here incase someone with solution comes up.  
Thanks for your time.
