Hi I am trying to install the trial version as a final verification that amember will do what I want before buying the full version and I have hit a problem very early on. I am new to this hosting malarkey so please make any answers as dummy proof as possible. I have downloaded trial version, unzipped and ftp'd to public directory. all seemingly OK I launch setup.php and get to setp 2 of 4 where I enter the sql database details. (I did check with my hosting provider that they met all of the amember requirements first). I cannot work out what to enter in these fields, whatever I enter it just comes back saying it is unable to get access. There appeared to be no sql database by default and so I created one as the guide said, (called amember) (there are no tables inside it at present though could this be the problem?) I am hosted on Linux, and I am assuming :- I use localhost for the host, amember for the database name (or should that actually a longer string?) Mysql username and password??? what should this be, my overall account name and passoword or that of a user on the database, I have tried both and neither work. My sql tables prefix, again there are no tables in the database, I assume amember creates them?? but have left the default to amember_ My sql version is 4.1.22-standard
