MySQL example, please [Solved]

[wotnots]

I know this is very simple. I've done it before but I am stuck on the MySQL stage of the installation. I have attached a screenpic of what I entered. can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong, please?

First of all, sorry if you know the following, but I always assume everyone dosnt know everything

First of all, make sure you have entered the password correctly. Sounds simple, but its like asking if you have petrol in your car.

When you create your database ( I presume you have done this on your cpanel on your host server), your database wizard will create a database. The first part of the name will always be the same ie wwwwotn_ then the database name for example shop

so the database name would be wwwwotn_shop

you would also need to create a database user account (lets call it admin) within the wizard and apply ALL Privileges

So user would be wwwwotn_admin

You then need to enter the user password for the database

If you have done all this and you still get the error, delete the dbase and set up a new one using different names. So instead of shop, use store and create a new user.

BTW, do you know you have downloaded and installed the BETA and not the final. Final is 1.25 (stable) not the 1.3RC3 which is for testing only, so dont use it for your store until the final comes out.
