[SOLVED] Link to database cannot be established.


Recommended Posts

New install of WAMP server. Local database setup and local presta shop setup and works fine. When trying to access from the outside, it tries to go to http://localhost/MYWEBSTORE'>http://localhost/MYWEBSTORE instead of using the domain name.

 

I am running windows server 2003 hosting my own site.

 

IF i modify the sittings.inc.php file from databaseserver 'localhost' to my IP address I get the Link to Database Cannot be established" but if i leave at localhost then it forward to http://localhost which will not work from an outside line.

 

Please help.

Unfortunately this will not help me as the files are on the hosting server now. We host our own website. Our website works. When I follow the online instructions for installing Prestashop everything works. WAMP with Apache, SQL and PHP, db connection test during install, email notifications, all of it. I just can not get it to work from the outside.

 

 

I am running MS Windows Server 2003.

WAMPServer 2.2

PrestaShop 1.4.4.0

Hi scannon,

Just to make sure we're on the same page, is your site still installed on localhost or on its own domain?

We use a domain name from GoDaddy that points to our own webserver where we host our own websites. So, I have logged into our web server where I installed WAMP Server 2.2 and then installed Presstashop 1.4.4.0. This same server houses our website.

 

Not sure but does that answer your question?

 

I have no problem hosting CSS Sites, HTML Sites, Wordpress sites, only having the issue with Prestashop.
