For some strange reason the installer isn't letting me connect to my data base. I keep getting error messages that aren't always the same. I verified with Ipowerweb through their live chat that I was to use localhost, username and password, but it doesn't want to connect me. The data base is created. Then a very strange thing happened.
I called my data base db1 and set my username=vivictor and password after playing around and talking to support I just gave up and closed the installer. Then I found that the installer had created a database called zen and it had installed the cart files.
Because this happened before I could set up the store and the administration I can't access the admin. I then tried to install again after uploading the zc_install files and still had the same problem. I found out that the mysql data base doesn't like long usernames or passwords so I tried shortening them but no joy.
I don't think I am missing any files. Perhaps unless there is a simple solution I will just upload everything again.
