MySQL database configuration:

[buyersguides]

Hello,
There seems to be a problem:

Could not connect to MySQL server: Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061)
Could not select database databasename: Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061)

There is a MySQL database on the domain in question (databasename). And all the other settings are up and running as well.

What must I do?

Thanks, but I am still stuck on that page:

Could not connect to MySQL server: Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061)
Could not select database buyersguides: Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061)

Either something IS wrong or I am DOING something wrong.

The installation issue is resolved.


There is however another problem.

IISPassword
The page cannot be displayed
There is a problem with the page youare trying to reach and it cannot be displayed. It is most likely that configuration files for this url are corrupted.

No you do:

eSyndiCat is a powerful directory software with many features. It can be easily integrated in your site design.

PHP 4.3.0 or above
MySQL 4.0 or above
Unix/Linux/Windows Hosting
IIS 6.0, Apache 1.3 or above (mod_rewrite required)
Around 12Mb Storage Space

I wonder if there is something that I need to do to the configuration file.


But I'm going to speak to this to the hosting provider as well.
