Can't access my data MySql data base

[Roon]

I followed these instructions...deleted the data base, made a new one, deleted users and passes and made a new one. I set all the permissions to 'all'. then I received this error message. "Access denied for user: 'vic@localhost' (Using password: YES) more info... "( this of course said I had to have the right data base name, Username and pass which I had just created).

As usual I get blocked here where the installer says it failed to connect to my MySql server. This time it didn't make the table. I went into MyAdmin and it wasn't there this time.

is "localhost" the correct database-server ?

did you assign rights for the user to the database?

[Roon]

Yes to both questions. I have pretty well figured out that it is a problem with my MySql data base shaking hands with the installer. Ipowerweb is working on the problem. I have gone through two levels of technicians and now I am on the third. I am quite confident that they will find the problem. they have never disappointed me in the past and we have four sites with them.

It is quite clear (I think) that it is not a problem with the zen cart installer, it is a server problem. So say I, a non techno. I really appreciate this forum and the response. I am sure that we will be very happy we went with you. This is our third try (stores). I'm quite sure it is not the problem of Zen cart at all. Thank you very much.

I will continue to post to this forum our experiences because I love the GNU attitude. Strangely enough it is exactly the attitude of the site we have made. I am not really ready to tell this whole story, but I believe that when we write a book about it (which we will do) they might even make a movie. I guess that's a pretty cocky attitude from a 60 year old Hippy, who was an immigrant in 6 countries (born in Saskatchewan, Canada) I only got on the internet 4 years ago. we didn't even have electricity in most of the places I lived for 13 years before coming to Quebec, Canada seven years ago. Why am I telling my life story? Is it because I'm drunk? Is it because I smoked one of those funny looking cigarettes? OK both. But I'm just having fun. I have been basically in bed for seven years even though most people think I'm not only normal, but I look for any reason to enjoy myself.

Nice meeting you.

Sorry, I screwed up the end of my post. But I think you'll get the idea. I certainly hope I haven't offended the forum. I'm not sure this is proper etiquette.

Please correct me if this is not really in the spirit of this forum. I am quite able to adjust.

Not exactly the spirit of this forum. Nevertheless, apology accepted. Thanks for sharing.

Would be very interested to know what your ipowweb comes up with...

I shall certainly let you know. It may avoid problems for others.

I am still fighting with this issue. My host is Ipowerweb and we have 4 sites with them. I have always considered them the best hosting service from every point of view till now. I go into my Vdeck (control panel) and set up a username and password and when I run the zen install program the MySql data base rejects my username and/or pasword.

One of the live chat agents said he knew a tech that has installed at least two zen carts on their servers. I just wonder if anyone else has had any trouble with installing zen on Ipowerweb. nI can't believe this can be such a problem.

[Roon]

I can't even open my installer now. I am really puzzeled.

Now, after Ipowerweb techs were mucking around I get this error message. I uploaded the zc_install file again but it does the same thing. So it can't be something Ipowerweb did. thank you in advance for any helpful suggestions anyone could give.

Try doing the install manually. Populate the blank database using the sql file from the Zen Cart install, and then edit the two configure.php files manually.
