Step 2 - Database

Hi, there.

For some reason I'm not able to get past step 2, without getting the following message:

Error: Could not connect to the database please make sure the database server, username and password is correct!

I am inputting "localhost" as my database host, and the user/password that I set as the main administrator username/password in MySQL.  I have double-checked that I have the correct database name, and have also tried inputting my domain name, and IP address for the database host and still no change.  I even tried creating a new username/password, and this does not work either.

I saw this problem in an earlier thread, but the bug in the index.php file must have been fixed by the time I downloaded it, because the extra "$" doesn't seem to be the problem in my index.php file. 

Any ideas?  I've also tried using PrestaShop and can't get past this step in their install either, so I'm sure it's something with the settings on my end, but I can't figure out what.

Thanks for any ideas!!

if your using cpanel, are you putting the username and database name in as "_dbuser" & "_opencart"

also have you checked to ensure that the username you setup has all privilages for the DB?
