Installation woes....help..please....help!

[skullzone]

Hey folks...

 

Well I get to stage 4 of the installation and I get a stack of errors that look like this....and I cannot log in to configure catalog or get into admin...

 

Warning: mysql_select_db(): Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061) in \\nawinfs04\home\users\web\b2358\rh.skullzone\catalog\install\includes\functions\database.php on line 29

When I fill in the webserver info, it says I have successfully connected to the database, then when I get to step 2, the webserver root directory is already filled in.....

 

Any idea's on where I'm going wrong here??

Just a simple search on google gives this:

 

Warning: mysql_select_db(): Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061)

 

this seems to be a firewall issue or something similar where the requierd port to connect to database is not open

this would be something that you might wanna discuss with your host

 

Supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource

 

Generally, there are two possible causes for this error. MySQL is down or it has run out of database connections. If it is the former, there is little you can do about it apart from contact your Host/server admin.

 

thisis indeed a mysql problem and not oscommerce.

Thanks for your input Nimz!

 

So when I contact my host, what exactly shoulf I be asking them for??

[nimz]

tell them exactly about the error messages you got from oscommerce installation, they should be able to get it installed for you

Unfortunately I'm spending the holidays in Prince Albert Saskatchewan....-30 to -40.... :'(

 

Do you do freelance work of this nature by chance?

I was hoping osCommerce would be a simple "out of the box" solution to online sales for me...but looking at the manual kind of freaks me out a bit :blush:

damn that's cold

 

yes as a matter of fact this kinda part of what I do for living. you know in IT you gotta do everything and be good at it to get decent jobs in Toronto. there's far too many competition in this city.

 

oscommerce is a great script but surely to think it would be something you can use out of the box in a live store is a little asking too much from it. however its functionality and layout design can be fully customized. pm me if you like to talk more about this.
