HEEEELLLLPPPP MEEEE PLS

[Guest]

Hello I have a problem

 

I have a server that runs MySQL but my site runs on an other server!

 

How can I install and run Oscommerce?

 

I managed to install a database on the MySQL server and stuff

 

but when I want to use the administration tool, it connects to my sites server which doesnt support MySQL and I get an error: cant connect with MySQL ( something like that )

 

Can someone pls help me!?

In includes/configure.php and admin/includes/configure.php, you need to properly set your database information.

 

  define('DB_SERVER', ''); // eg, localhost - should not be empty for productive servers
 define('DB_SERVER_USERNAME', '');
 define('DB_SERVER_PASSWORD', '');
 define('DB_DATABASE', '');

You need to set the DB_SERVER to a server name or IP that will resolve to the MySQL server. Then for DB_SERVER_USERNAME, DB_SERVER_PASSWORD, DB_DATABASE, set the username, password and database name for your OSCommerce MySQL database.

 

On your MySQL server, you will need to make sure it accepts connections from your webserver.
