define('DB_SERVER', 'localhost');
define('DB_SERVER_USERNAME', 'root');
define('DB_SERVER_PASSWORD', 'powerlogic7899');
define('DB_DATABASE', 'root');
define('USE_PCONNECT', 'false');
define('STORE_SESSIONS', 'db');
// use 'db' for best support, or '' for file-based storage

Answer these first.

Are you hosting on a WINDOWS server, as this thread's location suggests?

Have you followed the DOCUMENTED INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS in the docs folder of the Zencart software?

Have you created a database (and applied a username. password and full dbase privileges to it), on the server?
