Øivind Gulbrandsen	Saturday 23 October 2004 11:04:03 am I try to install ezPublish (via the setup wizard) in my web hotel (ServeTheWorld.net). When it comes to the database initialzation I get the following message: "The database would not accept the connection, please review your settings and try again." My settings are: type: MySQL servername: localhost username: hornet_admin password: (4 letters) socket: (blank) My database name (which I am not asked for) is hornet_x (the prefix and the underscore is provided by the wob hotel, I have just added the x in the name). What can be the problem / what should I do???

Also you can write a simple PHP code to check db connection. Luke Personal website -> http://serwatka.net Blog (about eZ Publish) -> http://serwatka.net/blog
Marco Zinn	Saturday 23 October 2004 3:37:47 pm Hi, it's fine, that you cannot enter your db name here. You just enter your MySQL user (in your example, this is hornet_admin). Donn't confuse this with your FTP or Shell user, it may be different. After MySQL recognizes the user (with the password you entered), you will see all databases, that you can access (on the next page, i think). What can be wrong? - Usrr can be wrong (must be your MySQL user) - PW can be wrong (must be the MySQL PW for this user) - Servername can be wrong (if this is a shared hosting, then your MySQL server probably is NOT localhost). Do you have the name/IP-Adress of your MySQL server? Marco http://www.hyperroad-design.com
