ok i am getting somewhere now for the datbase

I made a database username password

now the install is asking for
Server hostname
User name
Password

server name is what? localhost
username and pass i get

but server name is that just what i called the database?

it keeps saying Could not connect to the database server.

Thanks so much

You mean you have created the database and a database user manually? Did you also associate the user with the database and granted him the necessary permissions?

Did you see this thread?

there is the checksum.php to verify the correct uploading of the files.
You have also to verify if all directories have the right permissions, as indicated in the notes.

It seems like triwaca's case. He didn't report back, but I assume he resolved it by commenting out the first connection.

You can now try to do an upgrade.
Save a copy of your mainfile.php for having the correct working values.
Verify also with checksum.php the correct upload.
