Hi,

I downloaded the SSM. I cant seem to connect to the database after setup step 3... i'm not sure what i'm doing wrong. to refresh anyone's memory, setup step 3 states:

quote:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your database connection information has been successfully written to the correct file._ Please take this time to open and edit config.php in the main folder of this SSM installation._ Please change line 18 to reflect the correct system path to the db.php file, which should be in the same folder._ An example has been shown below:

require("/system/path/to/db.php");

After you have completed this change, please click Continue below to have Setup make the neccessary additions to your database.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

well, if config.php is in the same folder as db.php, then the line should read:

require("db.php")

Should it not? well, that didnt work so i've tried about ever possible path i could think of... then i thought, well, maybe i actually have to create the database from my control panel. So i did that using the exact same user name and password and db name that i wanted to use. And still i get "cannot connet to database" after i try the 5 different ways i can think of to change that path to...

any help please?

thanks
