Iggy Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 Only a couple of options for that I would think. You do in fact have the wrong password/user or you're querying the wrong server. Iggy Everything's funny but nothing's a joke... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xwilsonx Posted August 15, 2005 Author Share Posted August 15, 2005 in the web install... i used localhost for the database server, set the login and pw just as how i enetered it for the database. there has got to be something going on somewhere but i cant point my finger on it!

♥Vger Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 Sorry about that - very late here in the UK. If the db name is wrong you'll also get that message. For instance you can set up a database with a name like oscommerce, but the full db name might be something like yourdomain_com_-_oscommerce Vger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
