roban Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest jeffreybootes Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roban Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
