| Hi, I am trying to install a oscommerce template purchased from vodahost templates. I need to know the following, or how to find them Database server ( this can be a host name or IP address ?????) Username (database username) Password (database password) Database name ? The install instructions that came with the template are ****. Is there an existing database username and password, or do I need to create one through Mysql. Do I create a blank database to get the database name, or is it the name on the template instructions (osc_5689). I have tried the following for IP addresses 74.86.118.23 74.86.118.23:2082 74.86.118.23:2082/localhost 74.86.118.23:2082 / localhost localhost nothing works - either access denied, or cannot connect to Mysql server on .... I think I'm going crazy, and its way past my bedtime, please help. Emma |

| ok, after a lot of reading we figured this out. first we had to make sure that we added the data base user to the database. You find this when you click on mysql, you will see the database you created, but down the bottom is a function to add the user to the database, so we did this as I read it somewhere else. next the correct field for database server is just localhost username - per database you created through cpanel password - per database you created '' '' database name - per database you created '' '' Installation was successful. I hope this helps someone else - if I have put anything incorrect please correct. |
