Youv'e probably entered the path or name of the sql database wrong. It normally allways works :)

 

If checking the settings in:

admin/includes/configure.php

catalog/includes/configure.php

dosn't help, You'll have to be more specific:

 

Error occurs when entering admin, catalog or both?

List of your mysql setting from configure.php?

Your host suppliers data for your mysql database.?

Your OS (Win98, ME, 2000, Linux, Unix) if running localhost?

 

Hope this helps.

in catalog/includes/application_top.php you need to fill in this:

 

// define our database connection

define('DB_SERVER', 'localhost'); // this is typical config but not always

define('DB_SERVER_USERNAME', 'your_db_username');

define('DB_SERVER_PASSWORD', 'your_db_pass');

define('DB_DATABASE', 'catalog');

define('USE_PCONNECT', 1);

 

in admin/includes/application_top.php you need this:

// define our database connection

//define('DB_SERVER', $HTTP_ENV_VARS['HOSTNAME']);

define('DB_SERVER', 'localhost'); // use this instead of the line above

define('DB_SERVER_USERNAME', 'your_db_username');

define('DB_SERVER_PASSWORD', 'your_db_pass');

define('DB_DATABASE', 'catalog');

define('USE_PCONNECT', 1);

 

please note my comments after the lines of code snippets.

 

good luck.
