Hello, I am new to this having been on 1and1 hosting for a while. Idiot steps might be needed lol
I am trying to install opencart on a sub domain, everything so far was going well.
I have created a MySQL database and a user that is linked to the database.
I have gone to the landing page to set things up and I get:
"Error: Could not connect to the database please make sure the database server, username and password is correct!"
Please enter your database connection details.
Database Driver: MySQL (Also tried MySQLi)
* Database Host: http://MYDOMAIN.CO.UK (also tried my servers ip address, the public/external one not its 192)
* User: [Username I created]
Password: [Password I created for user above]
* Database Name: zadmin_dbblahblahblah (not really blahblahblah just a filler)
Database Prefix: oc_
All the correct ports have been opened (Very first thing I did BEFORE installing Sentora, knowing exactly what I would be hosting)
I am probably missing something or fudging something up, so hopefully someone with more experience and knowledge will be able to help me
Just in case it is relevant the Server is on the same local network as my computer but I have edited the hosts file on my computer to reflect this (didnt even need google to help me with that go me! lol)
Thanks in advance for any help, and I appologise for any dead feelings you may be left with for reading/answering probably a basic question lol
I would buy whoever helps me with this a pint, but you would have to be in the Blackpool area of the UK lol!
