ing?
Hi, new here. I downloaded CMS and was able to extract the files and load onto my Godaddy web hosting site. I got the config menus and all went well until I got to creating a SQL database. I created a database on the server and named it but cms won't connect to it. I loaded a copy of mysql 5.5 onto my laptop and tried to create the database but I lack the knowledge to get it done.
Do I have to create the database locally and upload it or am I correct in creating the database on the web server.
Either way the cms config program is not recognizing it. I did walk through all the requirements that the cms system needed with the Godaddy folks and it appears that there are no compatibility issues. I created a couple of databases in both sql 4.1 and 5.0.
I hope someone can get me through this hump without much trouble. Any help appreciated.
[solved] Where should I create the sql database and why
Re: Where should I create the sql database and Solved...
Solved my own problem after hours of frustration. I realized that I couldn't access the sql database through the web server. The password assigned wouldn't work. I reset it 3 times to no avail and finally deleted the the database and created another one. After verifying the password worked I had to point to a new location for the database in the cms setup program. Got it working at 1am this morning.
