  • Web Installer fails on Database Configuration

    Posted 9 years 7 months ago
    • When I try to install joomla using the into described in this link:http://www.rockettheme.com/docs/joomla/platform/rocketlauncher_3x.md

      I get the error: "Could not connect to the database. Connector returned number: Could not connect to MySQL."

      I am using MDDHosting.

      I have tried many difference processes that I have read in order to get the template to install and to get past the database hangup and I am at a loss on what to try now.

      Please let me know how I can resolve this issue.

      Thank you for your time.

    • Check in with your Hoster to confirm what values are needed for the parameters below:

      $dbtype = 'mysqli';
      $host = 'localhost';
      $user = 'root';
      $password = 'password';
      $db = 'somename';
      $dbprefix = 'someprefix_';

      The values in black you assign when you create your Database. The one in red is set by your hoster and some times isn't the commonly used "localhost"
