windows xp iis new installation

[aspx_dev]

:( I have installed php on my machine and it is running the install of oscommerce fine. So I assume there are no issues with iis.

 

I am trying to install osCommerce locally to test my whole application before deploying it to a host server.

 

With the new installation script I get as far as Database Import and I receive the following error: Can't connect to MySQL server on 'ISII-ONOF1EHUT7' (10061), where 'ISII-ONOF1EHUT7' is the server (my Machine) name.

 

What server name should I use for a local msSql server, on xp? Localhost does not work either.

 

Thanks in advance

Hi

I had this problem when I first det up on my local pc,

 

Do you have a password protected account on your pc

when you log on to your pc from startup?

 

Try using the same username and password for the mysql db settings,

 

this is what sorted it for me

Have you installed apache server?

No, I am not using apache, I am only going to be using iis, on my test machine, as well as in the live hosted application... I intend to run osCommerce along side an asp.net application.

Ah, so the username and password required are the windows ones, not the sql

 

I was using the sa username and password.

 

I'll give it a go. Thanks

As server name I used my localhost IP 127.0.0.1

 

For user name and password I used a registered mysql user

 

This worked for me
