2011-03-13 23:20:49 [SEVERE] [BBROTHER] Could not establish SQL connection. Disabling BigBrother

i dont know why this is happening. i might have done the MySQL editing thing wrong or something but iv tried this 5 times and cant get it to work. "IM MAD!"
my current craft bukkit version is 550
can some one please help me?
also the instructions the forum post gives me is very confusing.

 

1. Check the name of your database
2. Make sure you're entering the username and password in the right order. The password is on top.

 

i have no idea if i did. this is the most confusing thing iv ever done in my life.

 

Try using SQLite instead - its much less confusing than trying to install a full blown SQL server (MySQL) and configure that properly. If you still struggle, you may want to re-evaluate using BigBrother.
