praetorion Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 I am running apache, mysql and php in windows environment via xampp package. i tried to install oscommerce as per instruction and come across this error message when coming to Database Import section. i entered all the details and it gives me this error message: A test connection made to the database was NOT successful. The error message returned is: #HY000Host 'xxxx' is not allowed to connect to this MySQL server i tried it with different user, it fails, tried it with an existing database, it fails. i have run out of idea on how to continue with the installation. i have given all access permission to the mysql user but it still give the same error message. what might be the problem i m facing here?
