Hosting Joomla

[rinconett]

Hello,

 

I want to host a joomla website @heliohost.

I put the Joomla files to public_html (and changed the permission to all files and folders that noone can read it but execute)

I created a mysql database and a user for it.

 

But i cannot finish the joomla installation wizard.

access denied 'Unable to connect to the database:Could not connect to MySQL'

 

i tried to do it without the wizard by editing configuration.php

 

what is the correct servername

 

i tried it with:

db mysql

server stevie.heliohost.org

user cortadil_system

pwd ***********

database cortadil_joomlatest

 

thanks

Use localhost as the server.

 

Or use fantastico to install it, if it has it.

What is fantastico?

 

I downloaded joomla and wanted to use the installation wizard existing in it.

 

it seems not to be enough

 

Access denied for user

'cortadil_system'@'localhost' to database

'cortadil_joomlatest' SQL=CREATE DATABASE `cortadil_joomlatest` CHARACTER SET `utf8`

 

--> why want Joomla! creates a database? I thought i is nessessary to create the database before configuration?

(so I already created a database with that name)

 

--> do I have to edit the configuration.php by myself

(adding the credential I cannot access database)

 

 

so, with localhost I can access mysql, one step more than yesterday.

 

but not enough.

 

other ideas? thanks,

You have to create databases from cPanel. Fantastico is an auto-installer in your cPanel.

Hello,

 

thanks for replying.

 

I already created a mysql database in cPanel named joomlatest

(heliohost made it to database name = 'cortadil_joomlatest').

And I already created a user 'system' for that database with a password

(heliohost made it to user name 'cortadil_system')

 

where I can find Fantastico in my cPanel?

I was seeking today but didnt find.

You should see a link named Fantastico De Luxe in your cPanel or use this:
