The configuration was successful!

 

I have two commands to click on Catalog and Administration Tools

 

When I click on Calalog it goes automatically to installation index.php page install or upgrade

When I click on Administration Tools it gives me another warning

 

Warning: mysql_connect(): Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061) in C:\Sites\Single5\ewestuk\webroot\catalog\admin\includes\functions\database.php on line 19

Unable to connect to database server!

[Guest]

yooo i have the same problem!

exactly the same

 

do you allready know what to do?

[bah bah]

Let's wait for the expert's advice and suggestion coz it sounds this is to do with file and directory read write and excute permission issue specially hosted by windows platform, when it comes to write stream to file or amend or update and close the file.

The other errors are a direct result of the first. You need to find out if your webhost has open_basedir in effect and/or safe_mode on. If setting write permissions doesn't work, then one of those two is probably the culprit.

 

Or, open includes/configure.php and admin/includes/configure.php and edit them manually.

[bah bah]

Thanx alot kgt for replying including your invaluable help, it is yery very kind of you but i have no idea

what on which part of my code on configure.php script for catalog and under the admin folder

configure.php need to be added or changed manually?

 

you have told me to open includes/configure.php and admin/includes/configure.php and edit them manually.

 

After all I m new to this.

Can you rephrase what i have to do basically?

This is for an install of osCommerce into the root of your web and not into a folder.
