I am a beginner of xoops, I am using powweb as webhosting and created a MySQL for the installation of XOOPS 2.3.2

In step 5 about Database connection it said "Could not connect to the database server" Is there anyone who use powweb as webhosting can teach me how to type the correct information for the connection. Thanks

sd228hk, welcome on the XOOPS forum!

Depending on the permissions on your host (unknown to me), creating a database for use with XOOPS may be a four step process (with eg phpMyAdmin).
- Create a database (with eg charset UTF-8)
- Create a database user
- Associate user and database
- Give rights to the user.
You need then to enter the following in the fields:
As hostname, localhost will mosttimes work.
The database name as used in step 1.
The username and password as used in step 2.
