when installing for first time what do i need do put in "Database Server"???

always get the message:

"New Installation

 

osCommerce Configuration

 

A test connection made to the database was NOT successful.

 

The error message returned is:

 

Access denied for user: '[email protected]' (Using password: YES)

 

Please click on the Back button below to review your database server settings.

 

If you require help with your database server settings, please consult your hosting company."

Have you asked your host to create a database for you? (This usually has to be done at their level -- not yours -- unless you're using your own server.)

 

Once they've created a database for you, they should supply you with the dbname, username and password which you would enter in the setup.

well ive created a database in cpanel, created a user with all permissions and now the error is: Access denied for user: '[email protected]' (Using password: YES)

 

Database Server: i put the hosting server xx.server.com

Username: user name that ive created for database

Password: passord of database

Database Name: name ive created

what can be wrong pleaseeeeeeeee??????

NOTE (from webhosting at this moment): Cgi/Perl scripts and FrontPage will not work in Preview mode. They only work if the domain is fully pointed and propagated to our servers.

can it be from this??

thanks
