Why do you get this error? Maybe because:

* The database server has not been activated for you domain
* your username/password is wrong.
* The database server in offline for some reason.

If you get this error, contact your server administrator and check if MySQL is indeed running on your server. This error message can also mean that the MySQL server is overloaded - can easily happen in shared hosting where 250 sites fight for one CPU and same system resources or there are just too many visitors for the server to handle.

This means you database server name in add/connect.php is wrong. Try "localhost".

You do have one MySQL database set up, do you?

If you still need help: no need to pay for install help, donations are appreciated, though :) PM (personal message in forum: click my username to do it) me this info and I'll check it out tomorrow (it is 4am here now and gotta get some sleep):

DO NOT POST THIS INFO IN PUBLIC!

thanks for your help pekka. i thought that might be the problem (mysql) and i can not figure out how to set up the mysql database. when i go to my host and go to mysql i have tried many times to set up a database but i guess i cant figure it out. i will do some more reading as i dont want to waste your time on this matter.

thanks!
