My setup is load catalog folder in hosting company A.

setup database with hosting company B.

 

then I go to www.hosting-company-A.com/catalog/install

I entered database infomation from hosting company B

 

The error message returned is:

Can't connect to MySQL server on 'mysql.hosting-company-B.net' (4)

 

Is it a possible thing to do?

Is your catalog section working? You didn't post a URL. If you catalog section is working, take your database information from catalog/includes/configure.php and compare it to your database info (near or at the bottom) of your catalog/admin/includes/configure.php. Just change it ... copy and paste the entire section to match.

 

Especially on Windows servers, often the catalog/admin/includes/configure.php file doesn't get any info written on it at all.

 

Also make sure that there is no configure.php file in any "local" folder. So if you have a folder in your catalog/admin/local section, make sure there is no configure.php in this folder.

 

Good luck.

it worked like charm. thanks

 

Sorry it's now not working.

 

I must put the database in the same server as catalog to install. otherwise it cannot intall.

After install I tried to change catalog/include/configure.php and catalog/admin/include/configure.php to another database. but it cannot work. website stucked.
