Please help a zc newbie with install!!

Hi all,
I am trying to install v. 1.3.8 to my server which already has a database installed. I can log onto the database via phpmyadmin using my login info but when I run the zc_install, I can't get past database setup! Get an error message that says "Database does not exist". "Access denied". I have a feeling I may be missing something in either of the configure.php files but have been looking at them so long I am getting crosseyed!! :cry:

my includes configure.php file:

To possibly confuse matters, I did upload the files into the Gallery directory as I initally had the intent of doing a Gallery2/Zen Cart Bridge. (Already have Gallery set up on the web site)

Would appreciate any and all help anyone can give me!!
Thanks.

Hate to follow up on my own posting but... I figured it out. Yeah!!! I had the wrong database name entered. Duh!! :oops:

Oh well, on to the next challenge in my set up. Stay tuned.

Please now remember to CHANGE your database username and password, and make the appropriate edits to your configure.php files.

Your earlier post contained this confidential information - manna from heaven for hackers!

Thanks for looking out for me schoolboy, I can use all the help I can get!!! I made those up though, they weren't my real username and password.
