CMS Made Simple Forums

Well, I tried putting all the files in a folder, cmsms, within the root directory, rechecked permissions ... no luck.

Yes, that is correct ... i've been entering my database name and user as

djfrien_new - database
djfrien_admin - user (dba)

I am assuming that is the correct way ... when you create your database, c-panel uses your login_[your database name], truncates if necessary ...

thanks again.

Well, the problem was really simple ... where I created the database and all that, it had the location of the database as localhost

and i was supposed to change it to:

mysql.floridaserver.com

but i didn't realize that. Not sure if it is mentioned in the documentation. It probably is very obvious to most people.

so, the answer is yes, it finally worked.

thanks for all the help.

In germany there are minimal 2 big hosters they have mysql on another server as the domain.

the reason is the big hardware of the mysql server and the wanted high speed mysql connection of the users.

tere the connection must be an ip - connection and not localhost or so.

only 0,001% of all german domains are using postgresql.
