Guest Posted July 31, 2004 Posted July 31, 2004 you do the same thing, however you need to know the database name, user name and password. if localhost doesnt work after all of that, then try using the ip address. most hosts dont allow that though, as it causes a potential threat if you have easy passwords/usernames.

sch Posted July 31, 2004 Posted July 31, 2004 I'd try leaving it as localhost - one thing to think about though, has the db been created at the remote end?
Guest Posted August 1, 2004 Posted August 1, 2004 thanks everyone,... ill giv it a go with localhost and get on to my host for more info... ta
confusion Posted August 1, 2004 Posted August 1, 2004 dude i got it past that stage but i is stuck with this error messgae after that bit New Installation osCommerce Configuration The following error has occurred: The configuration files do not exist, or permission levels are not set. Please perform the following actions: cd /home/bgarvey/public_html/88888888/catalog/includes/ touch configure.php chmod 706 configure.php cd /home/bgarvey/public_html/88888888/catalog/admin/includes/ touch configure.php chmod 706 configure.php If chmod 706 does not work, please try chmod 777. If you are running this installation procedure under a Microsoft Windows environment, try renaming the existing configuration file so a new file can be created Anyone got any ideas as to what that means? please its been 3 days now and i cant sleep untill i get it working!!! whilst walking in the dark I found light>wave
telmari Posted August 2, 2004 Posted August 2, 2004 Means most likely you need to go to to those files, via your admin tool or server console and set permissions on those files to the ones stated, in this case set them to 706.
