rinconett Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewPH Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Use localhost as the server. Or use fantastico to install it, if it has it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rinconett Posted September 25, 2009 Author Share Posted September 25, 2009 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, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashoat Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 You have to create databases from cPanel. Fantastico is an auto-installer in your cPanel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rinconett Posted September 25, 2009 Author Share Posted September 25, 2009 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. regards, Rinconett Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Byron Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 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: http://YOUR_DOMAIN.heliohost.org:2082/fron...stico/index.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
