Hi all

 

1) I have just uploaded OSCommerce and running through the web based installation.

 

2) I have created a MySQL Databse on my webhost with the usename 'cbag' and Password 'password'.

 

3) I am completing the installation page with the following details:

 

Database Server: locahost

Username: cbag

Password: password

Database Name: myshop (I have just named it that for my ref)

Persistent Connections: UNCHECKED

Session Storage: Database

 

When I submit the page i get the following message:

 

Access denied for user: 'cbag@localhost' to database 'myshop'

 

ANy ideas where I am going wrong????

 

Thanks in advance.

When you're asking for help, especially if it's database related, you should mention whether you're using a remote webhost or using a local install on your own PC. The 'ODBC' part of the message indicates to me you're on Windows, and likely on your own PC.

 

You will need to specify a username and password for your database. If you don't have a username and password, you need to create one.

 

spindem, I second The_Bear. Check with your host whether you have your information correct.
