FIMBLE Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 Are they both on the same server? Its a problem with your configure.php on the dtatbase section. Or are you trying to connect to another site's database? If so you need to add it as a wildcard on the SQL section of the host site, and add the IP number in the place of localhost Regards Nic Sometimes you're the dog and sometimes the lamp post [/url] My Contributions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red devil Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 I get the same error. I've FTP'ed all my RC1 files to the server. I created an empty databse using myphpadmin. I was expecting the "Import database" option on my Install page but I didn't seem to get that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GemRock Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 if you can access phpMyAdmin using the same user name & pw, then it is more nlikely you got the database server name wrong. Try to log in phpMyAdmin again and you should be able to see the name of your db server there once logged in, normally it is called localhost or 127.0.0.1. Your host should have given you this information. Ken There was a problem connecting to the database server. The following error had occured: Access denied for user '*****'@'ragnell.blacknight.ie' (using password: YES) Please verify the connection parameters and try again. i just dont understand i have used my database php admin info and my ftp info and still it wont allow me to connect on install can anyone help get me past this as the rest i can do myself as this is my 2nd oscommerce store thanks in advance julie commercial support - unProtected channel, not to be confused with the forum with same name - open to everyone who need some professional help: either PM/email me, or go to my website (URL can be found in my profile). over 20 years of computer programming experience.

red devil Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 I sorted it. As well as creating a user in myphpadmin, you have to then add that user to the database. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
