MWebb Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 I am starting a new installation and I've put all the necessary details for the database server, such as; database server, user name, password and database name but for some reason when I click on continue, it comes up with the Access denied for user 'admin'@'localhost' (using password: YES) message. I'm not entirely sure what's wrong and why it won't let me set it up. I've installed oscommerce by using ftp and uploading it to the server. Can anyone help please or point me in the right direction?

MWebb Posted April 23, 2013 Author Posted April 23, 2013 this may sound a silly question but where would i go to check/change that?
Guest Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 @@MWebb In your hosting control panel, check the database settings and verify the username and password. Then, check the TWO configure.php files to ensure you have the correct database information. Chris
MWebb Posted April 23, 2013 Author Posted April 23, 2013 Ok the username and password are the same, what do I need to look for in the two configure.php files and where in the folders are they located?

MWebb Posted April 23, 2013 Author Posted April 23, 2013 Is there anything I need to particuarly change on those files? because I put there location in the address bar in my web browser and I get the message You do not have permission to access this document.
Guest Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 @@MWebb You can't look at those files from a browser.....You have to FTP them to your local machine and open them with a text editor (notepad++ or editplus+) Chris
MWebb Posted April 23, 2013 Author Posted April 23, 2013 Ok but that doesn't particularly answer my question, what do I need to check/change on those files?
♥14steve14 Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 There are many posts on these forums that explain about what both the configure files should look like. I suggest that you use the search feature to try to find what you want. REMEMBER BACKUP, BACKUP AND BACKUP
♥joli1811 Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 define('DB_SERVER_USERNAME', 'xxxxx'); define('DB_SERVER_PASSWORD', 'xxxxx'); define('DB_DATABASE', 'xxxxx'); To improve is to change; to be perfect is to change often.
MWebb Posted April 23, 2013 Author Posted April 23, 2013 right, I've changed the the 3 sections in both configure files to display the user, password and the database and uploaded it but it's still not letting me connect to the database server.
MWebb Posted April 23, 2013 Author Posted April 23, 2013 Oh no problem, I've got it working now after fiddiling with a few of the admin's privalage settings it's finally worked.
