Could not connect to the database server.

Please check the database server and its configuration.

You need to create the database first and the "User".

To connect to the databae< I had the same problem, then realized that the connection is case sensative:

Database Name: Name_dbase

If you have a Capital for the "dbase" then it is Name_Dbase...

That should do it.

Database Hostname [loacalhost] will not work. You should have received the host for mysql, something like:

mysql0.ixwebhosting.com

Also, the "Database_user" name is the one that you created and attach to in phpmyadmin. It should look like:

Account_user

If you are using MySQL 4.1.x or upper with PHP 4.x.x I found the solution:
Go to MySQL Command Line Client and type this:
mysql> SET PASSWORD FOR
-> 'some_user'@'some_host' = OLD_PASSWORD('newpwd');
*'someuser' is the user who you type in XOOPS example:
root, admin etc...
*'some_host' the host where you put the user... example
localhost, 127.0.0.1 etc
*'newpwd' is the new password to set

Why change the password?
Because the new type of MySQL authentication doesnt support older clients of MySQL (php_mysql.dll), in new version of php (PHP 5 BETA) this errors was fixed...

I hope was finished this topic. .
