Thread: Cannot connect to MySQL database???

Hi there.

I have an annoying problem and it seems that I'm not the only one.

To install cubecart I needed to create a MySQL database via cpanel...no problem, but during the installation process www.mobile-focus.com/shop I can't seem to get past the 3rd process to connect/identify my remote SQL database. I get the error:


Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Access denied for user 'kcloqje_kcloqje'@'localhost' (using password: YES) in /home/kcloqje/public_html/shop/classes/db/db.php on line 42
Access denied for user 'kcloqje_kcloqje'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

I have tried every database hostname:
mobile-focus.com
localhost
voda30.voda30.com
voda30
ip adresse: 67.2288.244.198; 67.228.190.149
vodahost...and i'm sure that my passwords are correct as they are accepted in cpanel!!!

What is the database host name??? It can't be that complicating???


CubeCart Setup v4.3.3
Step 3 out of 5 12345
Step 3 - Build Configuration Data, Create Administrator Account & Install Database TablesSoftware License Key:
A software license key can be purchased directly from our website. http://www.cubecart.com. The install script will continue but the admin control panel of you store will not work if the license key is invalid.Software License Key:This is not the same as a copyright removal key.Database Settings
(These can normally be obtained or created in your web hosting control panel)Database Hostname:e.g. localhostDatabase Name:e.g. cubecart_database Database Username:e.g. database_user Database Password: Confirm Password:

Your insight would be greatly appreciated as it driving me crazy

Thank-you,

Did you create a data base in mysql? did you make a user? and then ADD that user to the data base?

The host will be left simply as LOCAL

It is not enough to create a user, you also need to grant him ALL permissions for the specific database. Did you ?
