Problem installing

[ignaguz]

ok I'm triying to install joomla and i create a database.

username: bball_pau

password: ******

database name : bball_base1

____________________________________

then the joomla asks for

localhost: lotus

MySQL Username: bball_pau

MySQL Password: *******

MySQL Database name: bball_base1

MySQL Table Prefix: jos_

____________________________________

but it says that the username and password are wrong.


does anyone know what to do??

Try localhost for localhost.

 

[DefecTalisman]

Have you granted the user permision to use the database ?

Also in the config.php, change the localhost to localhost.

no i haven't granted any permission, do I have to, where?

and what do you mean by change the localhost to localhost. If i go to the

PHP Configuration i don't see anything about the localhost

 

[David_Tiger]

localhost: lotus <<<< change lotus to localhost

as thats the localhost of the SQL

This can be done in the cPanel, under the databases section go to 'MySQL Databases'. Then underneath the list of database you will find a bit on adding users to databases. It's here that you grant the permissions.

Yea do what TechAsh said, but I reccommend giving the database user full permissions.
