Hi, i have pointed my browser to my website and this screen comes up

MySQL Database Setup:

MySQL Host ex:localhost
- Use an existing database - (You must have created it first!)
Database name easyauction-371592 ex:PHPAuction_auction
MySQL user ****** ex:PHPAuction_admin
MySQL password ****** ex:password

Unable to select database: easyauction-371592

but it will not accept database name what do i do now mate getting ready to through laptop out of window yours ronnie

just to ask, you did setup a database through your account area ahead of time, yes?

i did a small test for database setup. after setting up the database part in bravenet account, the info i have to work with is...

user ... SomeValueYouChoose
password ... SomeValueYouChoose
host ... sqlX.bravehost.com (the X is a number)
name ... DataBaseNameSomeValueYouChoose

you may need to change the host value in your script before you upload it. many scripts are set to localhost as a default (which is a common value to use on various hosts). but in bravenet, they use a different host name.

Now getting these error messages, this really driving me round the bend,
Is it possible you can have a quick look at this if i send you my username & password it really is driving me crazy if you could have a quick look and let me know if it's going to work or not if not i'm just going to give up on it thanks mate P.S if you fancy a look at it please email me and i'll give you details thanks if not thanks in advance for the help you have given me your ronnie

you don't want to have me work on it for you. it would cost you $60 USD per hour and i tend to take my time making things work :) i just stop in here to help out a bit now and again.

it looks like either that config file was not uploaded OR you might have forgot to CHMOD it to 777 before running the install file. that is my guess.

ok mate thanks for the help anyway i understand you need paid just can't afford it made redundant 2 years ago and at my age no chance of getting another job was just doing this to take the bordem out of sitting about the house, I will just delete it all because there's no way i'm going to manage it, Thanks again ronnie
