billiebob Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Are you getting any errors? Can you see the tables in MySQL? Did you run the Prestashop installer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdj1 Posted June 9, 2011 Author Share Posted June 9, 2011 I get the error Database server was not found. Please verify the login, password, and database server name fields.When going through the installer. It seems to be an specific problem with php 5.3.2 on Win 2008 but everything I try doesnt seem to resolve the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billiebob Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Hi I am running the same php version and windows 2008 without any problem. When you say it's a php issue what gives you that idea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdj1 Posted June 9, 2011 Author Share Posted June 9, 2011 HI BillibobJust by doing various serches online. It seems to be a common problem that php 5.3 wont connect to MySQL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billiebob Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Yeah I don't think that's the case here really or no one would be able to use it...I think it's something local to you.Okay what I would do is create a .php file in your editor with a connection to your database and upload it to one of your other domains and see if it connects and report back. That way you will see if the problem really lies with php 5.3 or your database etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
