Installing Connect Problem

I’m a new user trying to install. On “Database Setup”page my answer to prompts are:

Database Type: SQL
Database Host: localhost
Database Username: designs1
Database Password: *********
Database Name: zeb_designs

Then when I click on “Save Database Settings” I get “Connection to Database failed “.

I’ve even tried this “creatingneedles.ipowermysql.com” for the Database Host, nothing seems to work.

Need help – Thanks!!

Re: Installing Connect Problem

Many shared hosts prepend the CPanel user name to the database name, so if you create a DB called zencart, and your CPanel user name is 'foobar' the DB name Zencart needs is foobar_zencart.
