jimmer Posted February 22, 2006 Posted February 22, 2006 Assuming your db is on hosted space somewhere, your host should give you the ability to create users for it, through a control panel somewhere. Find this and make user and password specifically for your store. During the install process you will need to provide this information, along with the address of the db server so your store can connect to the db. If you have no db you must create one using said control panel. If you're still not sure ask your host for help setting up the db. If you're setting this up on your own test machine and you have root access the procedure is somewhat different. Sorry it's a bit vague, it's hard to imagine what your setup is like. Jim

♥Vger Posted February 22, 2006 Posted February 22, 2006 If your site is hosted on a shared server (most are) then you create the database using the MySQL link in the web hosting control panel provided by your hosting company. To create the blank database you usually only need to enter a name for the database. Vger
