joomla school website install

[orchard]

Hi guys hoping someone can help with my problem

Im creating a school website using an edugeek joomla template. Ive followed the intructions from here and managed to upload the files. Ive created the msql database but seem to keep getting the username/password error.

this is my msql database page in my cpanel

This is what Ive put into the setup page

I haven't added my password for obvious reasons but the site address is http://orchard.x10hosting.com

Blatantly just an obvious mistake somewhere but ive been trying all night, any help would be massively appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Looking at your Joomla Setup page, the first obvious error is what you have typed into the "Host Name" field. It should be "localhost" and NOT "orchard.x10hosting.com". Try this, and I'm sure it should work

Anyway, the software will pick-up that your domain is "http://orchard.x10hosting.com"

what is joomla?

Joomla is a content management system or more commonly known as a CMS. It's open source and quite easy to use.

You can take a look at their website below -
http://www.joomla.org/

I hope this answers your question.

Yeh, no problems! Just ask and you'll be sure that someone in the x10hosting community can fix it for you!

Sometimes, the instructions next to the input boxes actually give you the clues you need ("This is usually 'localhost'")

there is a much quicker way to do this through cpanel under services click fantastico and you can install joomla from there in under a min nice and easy but if you do go and way with trying to connect to your sql database its Localhost that the DB is stored on
