CPanel/Mysql database recognition hassles

[smuttyman]

Hi all, relative newbie here. I acquired the new joobsbox and whilst uploading and installing, one comes to the page (Zend framework) To enter the following:

InstallationWelcome to Joobsbox installation!
I need some information and then we're ready to go.


Site information
Site name
Database information
Database name*
Database username*
Database password*
Database host*
Table prefix

I have created mysql databases and users but this page will not accept anything I put in. If my site is jackrobbins.com on Cpanel the database name say, test, defaults to jackrobbins_test, am I right? So should I enter as the above:

Database name: jackrobbins_test or just test
Database username: jackrobbins_admin or just admin
Password I presume is exactly as entered
Host, says usually localhost. Does this stay the same on Cpanel?
Table Prefix? What is this?

They also ask for a site name, now will this be the site as registered with Cpanel? Or the site name I want?

Any help here greatly appreciated.

Database name: jackrobbins_test
Database username: jackrobbins_admin
Password: exactly the same as you specified for user "jackrobbins_admin"
Host: localhost
Table Prefix: leave as it is.
Sitename: your website name i.e. http://yourdomainname.tld

Just tried it still no go... I really don't undestand this. Could there be a problem with cpanel? I'm having hassles with a different site on the same hosting...

Are you sure "jackrobbins" is the username of your account? cPanel do not allow more than 8 characters.

I know, just didn't want to put my passetc on here.

no single set of variables will work

I am just playing around with a new hr site on an old domain with cpanel 3

Still no joy

Does anyone know of a mysql only type site etc where I can host my db seperately outside of cpanel? I am really stuck here and every site I have hosted with this company has the same error...

I hope that version number is a typo. cPanel 3 is ancient and would explain some problems you are reporting.

Have you by chance asked your host? If you give them your MySQL password for that they can double check that the user/pass and database permissions are all correct.

Did you actually set this database up within cPanel and then add the permission for that user to access the db?
