My installation was 100%. The server is running fine but when I try to load x-cart (fresh install) in my local pc I got this message.

 

Step 3: Preparing to install X-Cart database

 

Fatal error: Can't connect to the MySQL server. Press 'BACK' button and check database info again.

Please correct the error(s) before proceeding to the next step.

 

I create a new database in phpMyAdmin, and I am using the same info to run x-cart.

 

Any ideas why I am getting this message? And how can I fix it.

 

 

Thanks so much!!!

I have never used x-cart however because you have created a database using phpMyAdmin your servers a working fine.

 

I can only assume the problem is with setup information the defaults for MySQL are:

 

Host Name: localhost

MySQL User Name: root

MySQL Password: root
