Thank you. I've managed to create a database and connection. I am able to log in with the admin account. But if I want to register another account it says "name already exists" . I have tried this with 2 names and email adresses but I keep getting this message.

Hi Roermondse.
Most of the times, this issue is due to the fact that you're using the Automatic Registration on your website, but your database connection isn't actually working.
This means that your admin account will work properly, but you're unable to actually add any new users to the Database.
Did you configure it correctly? Can you access your Database and very that? Did you type the full correct URL to your website at Step 1?
Please check all of this and get back to me afterwards
Thank you

Hi Stefano,
I have checked the things you've mentioned above.
1) Did you configure it correctly?
How should I configure it correctly?
2) Can you access your Database and very that?
I can acces the database, only thing I see here is that there is no table. Should I create a table myself, or is this built in the script?
3) Did you type the full correct URL to your website at Step 1?
I wrote down the location my host says I have to give up as hostname. "localhost"
As extra information i've created screenshots and attached them to this post.
Thanks for your help!

Hi Stefano,
I rechecked everything and I saw I wrote a typo in the database name. It works for now.
However I have still got a question left.
Is it possible to group automatically registrated adresses like it is possible with manually created accounts. For access groups?
Hi Roermondse,
I'm afraid not. The grouping system is reserved to manually registered users, and the automatically registered one cannot make use of that.
This is because the software works in a particular way with the "Automatic" users, and considers this as a group of its own.
I suggest you open an Idea topic however, if you believe this feature could be helpful to other users too
Let me know if I can provide further insight on the matter
Thank you
Stefano
