My username and password i set for the database do not work. I also tried the user/pass for my server, doesnt work either. what are the user/pass based on, and where do you set it?

 

thanks,

What version of osCommerce....?

GIVE DETAILS.

 

If you use Ian's loaded snapshot: Read the docs.

They'll tell you the default admin/pass is

 

login: default

pass: admin

 

For mySQL passwords you need to contact your system admin or hosting provider.

[magneteye]

I just uploaded via FTP and then ran the install.

 

OSC Version 2.2

 

it asked me for db username/password during install. but, what the admin login by default? nothing in the docs mention it.

 

?

it asked you for the MYSQL password and username. They're hosting provider related. If you do not know them you should ask your provider.

 

HTH

yeah i know. i set my username and password for the db in Cpanel. thats not a problem.

 

so apparently it should work, right?

 

the question is: when you goto admin and it prompts for user/pass, it wants the DB user/pass, or does it want the Server user/pass?

 

i tried both. no dice.

 

 

i checked configure.php and it has correct user/pass info for the mysql db. so i thought it should work.

Forgive my ignorance, but who's Ian and does the latest snapshot password protect the admin folder? Hmm...maybe I don't have the latest version. :?

[magneteye]

CRAP! ok, i think i got the user/pass but then it takes me to this screen:

 

1046 - No Database Selected

 

select configuration_key as cfgKey, configuration_value as cfgValue from configuration

 

[TEP STOP]

 

 

now what is this about?

[mattice]

How is the Admin protected then? By a popup thingie?

In the default installation there is no pass protection on osCommerce admin side.... ?!?

[magneteye]

ok, i figured out the password thing. it was protected. i removed it for now.

 

now when i go here: http://store.cloud9media.com/admin/index.php

 

i get:

 

1046 - No Database Selected

 

select configuration_key as cfgKey, configuration_value as cfgValue from configuration

 

[TEP STOP]

 

 

Thanks for taking the time to help me...

No Data Base selected means that you didnt enter the right name for your data base

 

this is a cpanel issue try your username_catalog or what ever you named the data base if it difffers from catalog

 

let us know how you make out

[magneteye]

OK! I got it all sorted out! PHEW!

 

Apparently you need to open the configure.php in admin/includes and set values there, besides the configure.php in catalog/includes.

 

no one mentions this in the docs...not that i could see.

 

so, it works now. sorry if i was a bother.

 

THANKS!!!

I have got exactly the same thing did you ever get to the bottom of this???

 

WHo is your host??

[magneteye]

yes. Se my last post that says:

 

Apparently you need to open the configure.php in admin/includes and set values there, besides the configure.php in catalog/includes.

 

So, open configure.php in the admin/includes folder and check the settings. They should natch the configure.php in catalog/includes folder. Its the last 6 lines or so.

 

Hope you get it!

Got it! Both the password and username had a space at the end between the quotes. I removed this and all was well. But I can't work out why mysql let the datbase populate without the correct password and username!>>>

 

Thanks anyway.
