The database would not accept the connection - MySQL

[christiand14]

Hi, I have downloaded and uploaded a PHP CMS called "eZ" and I have gone to the location and I am asked for my MySQL details which are:

Servername
Port
Username
Password
Socket

When I put the details in i get the message

The database would not accept the connection, please review your settings and try again.

What should I do? What is the servername? Is it the Database name?

Thanks

The MySQL server name is 'localhost'

You need to create a database in cPanel : http://yoursite.com:2082/frontend/x3/sql/index.html and create a user, link them together. Then from then on it it prety straight forward!

I am getting this message now:

Warning
The database [chris15_cms] cannot be used, the setup wizard wants to create the site in [utf-8] but the database has been created using character set [iso-8859-1]. You will have to choose a database having support for [utf-8] or modify [chris15_cms] .

What shall i do?

You have to ALTER the database to change it to utf-8
