ScottGetter Posted February 3, 2006 Posted February 3, 2006 I am trying to setup a Joomla! CMS here on TCH and I have some questions regarding the installation.... During the installation phase, on step one, it asks some questions about the site.... Host Name: (I have been puting 'localhost' and that seems to be the only thing that works.. .is that correct?) MySQL UserName : (I created a user and gave 'em ALL Privliges and am using the full name as shown in Cpanel MySQL Account Maintenance 'IMade1_Thisup' .) MySQL Password: (I am using the password I set for the user above) MySQL Database Name: (I am calling it Joomla) MySQL Table Prefix: (I am using default) When I do this, I get a message... "A database error occurred: Access denied for user: 'IMade1_Thisup@localhoset to database 'Joomla' SQL=CREATE DATABASE 'Joomla' I am assuming that I the user I created 'IMade1_Thisup' does not have the needed access or something. Account Management for MySQL says 'IMade1_Thisup (Privileges: ALL PRIVILEGES)' Thanks for your help. Edit TCH-Bruce: removed email address from post to prevent apam bots from picking it up. Also, check the forum guidelines about creating signatures. Quote
TCH-Bruce Posted February 3, 2006 Posted February 3, 2006 Welcome to the forums Scott You are on a shared server so your database name is not Joomla it would be Your-Cpanel-name_Joomla same for your user name it is preceded with Your-Cpanel-name_ And don't forget to add the user to the database.

Do I need to create the database manually to get this to work. I tried putting 'MyCpanelName_Joomla' and recieved the same error. Thanks for the super fast reply! Quote

Thanks for the super fast reply! I figured it out... I had to create a blank database named joomla and then associate the user I created with it and give 'em all rights... then it worked like a charm... Thanks! Quote
TCH-Rob Posted February 3, 2006 Posted February 3, 2006 Welcome to the forums Scott. Yep, looks like you got it. Quote
