I've been self-hosting for a long time with no problem (thanks!), but now want to see if I can install piwigo on namecheap.com web host. It installs, and the initial config menu shows up, but when I hit "Start Installation", I get the following error:
Array ( [0] => Access denied for user 'arrmgt8'@'localhost' (using password: YES) )
Is there a way around this? Can I insert all the login info etc. into a specific file? Apologies if this has been discussed in another posting.

Hello,
you'll have to check with your host for this

The connection to the database fails. As said please check with your hoster or if possible check the database connection yourself outside of piwigo (e.g. if your hoster provides an interface to the database like phpMyAdmin please use that).

The namecheap.com support was very helpful, and I got it to work.
The trick is to first use the cpanel tool create the mysql database (I used mysql wizard). It will be named something like: arrmaskk_piwigo.
Create a user arrmaskk_piwigo.
I couldn't make the admin email to gmail.com, so I used admin@domain.net so that I can get email forwarded through namecheap.
Anyway, it works!
