Guest Posted January 20, 2007 Posted January 20, 2007 I am finding the book very frustrating as nothing appears to work as it should. Whatever I try I cannog get php page on page 36 of the book to connect to the mysql database. I keep getting the message on page 37 but I am definately using the correct name and password. I have tried and tried but it will just not connect. I have reset up the database as well. Secondly When trying to install oscommerce on the development server I cannot get it to install - I select the new installation option as per the bottom of page 42 but nothing basically happens. I am at my whits end LOL which is silly really - just thought following a book would be easier that it appears to be. There doesnt appear to be any support from the publishers so I am really hoping that someone can help me. I am using mysql 4.1 / php5 and apache 2.0 Many Thanks Jonathan Keay

amexem Posted February 26, 2007 Posted February 26, 2007 Have you tried using or installing XAMPP? It is really easy and it everything you need. I am new as well and I am using the same book. All is well for me until I got to the installing OSC part. have patience
