I add a XOOPS datebase and everything was configured correctly. I got to the last window for installation and it said, "Could not connect to datebase"
It said everything was proper b4.

check that u have entered the host address correctly and the username and password..

if u still have probems we'll need to know more about your setup, such as php version, sql version apache, IIS etc..

You also have to confirm this, the database might not be on the host webserver (as I experienced with a webhost recently), so using LOCALHOST will not work.

Check with your webhost and ask them for the hostname of their mySQL server.

For example, I was helping someone install their XOOPS and had the same problem you describe. Instead of "LOCALHOST", I discovered the mySQL database is located on mySQL.iserve.co.nz
