What password is given to the mysql user when installed via Fantastico?

[RodG]

Is it the Zencart admin password that you specify in the install?

No. (Well, I *hope* it isn't. That would be a security risk).

Better still, how can test this theory out!!!???

As long as your site is functional you can take a peek at either of the two zen-cart configure.php files to determine the SQL username/password.

If the site isn't functional (IE, if you are having problems connecting to the SQL server) then the data in these files won't provide anything useful.

thanks for that. I learnt to look for DB_SERVER_PASSWORD and that configure.php holds the keys to the castle, so i better look after it better from now on :-D

Cheers!
