My SQL Error

[Guest]

A little note for those still struggling with the basics :

If you are getting the following message:

MySQL Error Occured

1045: Access denied for user: 'abc_abc@localhost' (Using password: YES)

after installing CubeCart 3.0 (Final) using the manual method have a look at your global_inc.php file in the includes folder + check the $glob['dbpassword'] = ''; line. - My password is fairly lengthy + had been truncated with an additional "/" so I was getting the above error message, which went away allowing everything to work just fine once removed. If you have any . or / in your password or user name try replacing them with something else because both of these are linked to directory commands/structure + can cause serious problems for you.

Also, using cPanel, your server root will be something like:

yourusername/home/public_html/foldercontainingcubecart

Remember that yourusername is usually the name you use to log into cpanel, + may be slightly different or shortened from your original account name +/or the name you have to use when accessing your account through FTP.
