ok, called up the host, they say database is working fine,

must be ZC software. they can't give me support.

so what i'm doing is, deleting the ZC dir, and installing fresh one.

Let me know if things go well this time.

You can also do this:
Create a file name test.php with the content:

<?php
    $connection = mysql_connect("servername","username","password");

    if (!$connection) 
        echo "Couldn't make a connection!"; 
        else
echo "Connected to database";
?>

Replace the servername, username, password with the info you have.
Then access this file on your browser (yoursite.com/test.php), see how it goes.

yes that test.php works, it connects to my database fine, i think it's ZC not working, maybe i uploaded it wrong, now i'm using cuteftp to up load these files.
what software you use to connect to ftp server?

[yellow1912]

I use cuteftp as well, nice proggie.

yellow1912, one question, could you please post me how u install your ZC,

i uploaded the files again. still i can't connect this database to the host server with all info given by the provider

if this not going to work, i may have to give up...
