I m using akeeba solo to back up a feng installation. I created an own database for akeeba solo. I tried to update my akeeba installation 1.0.b2 to 1.0.0
With 1.0.b2 akeeba solo was working.
After updating to 1.0.0.(Extract the contents of the ZIP file and upload them to your server, overwriting the existing Akeeba Solo / Akeeba Backup files.) I visited Akeeba solo main page (Then just visit Akeeba Solo's / Akeeba Backup's main page. Any required actions for the update will be carried out automatically. Your configuration settings are preserved.) Unfortunately I was asked for the database setup - shouldn t that be in the configuration settings already? After providing the database setup akeeba solo can not connect to the sql database.
Like suggested in ticket #19999: (Could not connect to MySQL) I set a new passsword with only letters and numbers. But still not working.
Maybe I did something wrong during the update?
Thanks for your help!

It seems that something's wrong with the uploaded package. I will release a new version today

Thank you for the heads up! The problem only occurred when updating the component. On clean installations (like the one I was trying before the release) the problem would not occur :(
