Could someone please advise on how to resolve this problem. I've done uploaded ezPublish 3.6.3 twice and still cannot connect to my database.
Here are the details: Linux server MySQL database (empty)Design, Settings and var folders, subfolders and files all CHMOD 777
I had an earlier version of ezPublish working fine on the same server, same directory and same database (just decided to do a clean install).
The user name and password I'm using allow me to open the database using phpMyAdmin.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated!
Cheers,
Fraser

I also tried changing the defaut database name in an override setup.ini.append.php which i placed in the settings/override folder.
Still isn't working.

OK, solved my own problem. phpMyAdmin said that my database was running on Localhost so I assumed that this was the correct host. I guess phpMyAdmin is running on Localhost!!!
So, put the address of the mySQL server in for host and it worked.
Arrggh it's always the simple dumb mistakes that cause hours of frustration!
