I own a company that sells flags and flagpoles. last year i put up a web site. that was all working well and good to show off our products and attract sales. But now i want to be able to sell onlne with an online store. there for i found cubecart and its free. GREAT.i can get some expierence working with the fundimentals of a shopping cart and how the system works with nothing down ... sparing you the rest of my life story.....
my domain is hosted by godaddy.com
its a linux box with php and mySQL
Ive tried to install several times. each time getting stuck at step 4
the last time i tried the manual method, ran the query and it created a bunch of tables in my mySQL database. i edited the global.inc.php file as it said
removed the install directory from my server
Now when i go to my site (i installed the store in the root not /store) the page reads:
MySQL Error Occured
2003: Can't connect to MySQL server on 'americasflagpolecompany.com' (111)
please help, i dont know where to go from here.
Full Version: New To Cubecart HELP!!
Check your database username, password and the name of the database. make sure all are correct. This information should be found in your includes/global.inc file.

You need to make sure you got the following info. correct.
Database Hostname:
Database Name:
Database Username:
Database Password:
You can find out from your hosting service what that is just to confirm.
is my Database Hostname:...
mysite?
mysite.com?
www.mysite.com?
http://mysite..com?
or maybe something all together diffrent?
thanks for the feedback!
mysite?
mysite.com?

im also a little confused about the values of:
$glob['rootDir']
$glob['rootRel']
$glob['storeURL']
because my store is installed in root .... should they all not be '/'?
thanks guys

All the information you require can be gotten from your host.
$glob['rootDir'] this is the true path to your files
$glob['rootRel']In your case this will be "/"
$glob['storeURL'] this is the url of your store http://www.whatever.com
Database Hostname:in most cases is localhost but not all cases
Database Name: this is the name of your database
Database Username: this is the username used to access your database
Database Password: this is the password used to access your database
$glob['rootDir'] this is the true path to your files
$glob['rootRel']In your case this will be "/"
$glob['storeURL'] this is the url of your store http://www.whatever.com
Database Hostname:in most cases is localhost but not all cases
Database Name: this is the name of your database
Database Username: this is the username used to access your database
Database Password: this is the password used to access your database
