instalation is kicking my butt

[airete]

ok,

 

i finished configuration of the install but when i go to click on either the administration tool or catolog button i get this wonderful responce.

 

Warning: mysql_connect(): Access denied for user: '[email protected]' (Using password: YES) in /hsphere/local/home/t12gdesi/aretedesign.net/catalog/admin/includes/functions/database.php on line 19

Unable to connect to database server!

 

 

i have looked at my config file and the server is the correct server and so on...what is going on...!! :blink:

[Guest]

you should probably try localhost for the database server during installation

[airete]

i did that and i get the same error...

 

i changed it to localhost on both of the confi\ige files....

 

am i missing something?

[Guest]

if that fails, you should contact your host and ask what the requirements are to setting up an mysql database

[airete]

it created teh database though....it created all the tables inside it is just that for some weird reason that is will not connect when i click on either of the buttons.

 

i can go in useing myphpadmin and view the tables....

 

GRRR!!!

Try restarting mysql - sometimes it needs a kick in the pants after a database is added, even if you can see it in phpMyAdmin. If localhost (127.0.0.1) doesn't work for the database location, try your actual IP address (if it isn't shared). Some servers will allow the actual URL instead of an IP address (some of the older control panel specific versions like plesk 1.25 did this) for connections to mySQL - especially on shared hosting environments.

 

Pick up a tool like DBTools so you can play with things like connection strings in a fast-response environment before you get killed during a software install. It can be very frustrating very quickly.
