Unable to connect to database server!

[bts1428]

I am new to this and I made mysql database and installed oscommerce. All the installation went great but when I click on the adminitration tool it gave me an error messege that says

 

Warning: mysql_pconnect(): Unknown MySQL Server Host 'mysql04.powweb.com ' (1) in /www/b/bauti1428/htdocs/cdstore/catalog/admin/includes/functions/database.php on line 17

Unable to connect to database server!

 

why did it give me this error? I check on all the rights for this user and eveything was set to allow all.

 

Please somebody get back to me when you get a chance.

Check and make sure that your catalog/admin/includes/configure.php has the same db settings as catalog/includes/configure.php. Its down at the bottom

 

// define our database connection

Hey Roberto,

 

Check the settings to the db in /admin/includes/configure.php

 

verify at the bottom of the file:

 

define('DB_SERVER', 'localhost'); // eg, localhost

define('DB_SERVER_USERNAME', 'your-use-name');

define('DB_SERVER_PASSWORD', 'your-pwd');

define('DB_DATABASE', 'your-db-name')

 

Is the catalog side working ok?

 

The settings above should match those in catalog/includes/configure.php
