Domain name help

[.Maleficus.]

When I did this from my house, it was about a 3 month period before I actually got anywhere. There's a ton to think about, like the OS, Apache, MySQL, PHP, Admin software, DNS providers, dynamic IPs... Not to mention the lack of tech support .


Also, I just looked at my MySQL info, and my username also has a prefix. When I made the user, his name was "andy", but it also has my cPanel username as a prefix. My ACTUAL MySQL user is *username*_andy, just like my database is *username*_arcanesystems. If Vdeck is adding a prefix to your user also, you could be running in circles without even knowing it.

nope
And the only thing I did differently from what you said is I made the database name "g2g" because, even though I had deleted it, it still thought the previous groceries2go database still existed and stopped me from making a database with the same name.

this is what my stuff was:

database name: groceries2go_g2g
username:andy9
And then my password...

I also tried going to groceries2go.startlogic.com which is where the host domain that groceries2go.net points to. I tried installing Joomla on that page and got to the same place, MySQL.

I'm puzzled...
But less irritated for some reason, which is good.
haha.

Did you try it with a prefix on the user too?

[tinker]

Hmmmm.
Okay.
I guess I could call startlogic's tech support and ask if they add prefixes to either the database name or username.

They should be able to tell me that right?

[tinker]

No I didn't because I'm not sure what it would be...

Would it just be the same thing: My startlogic username which is groceries2go?

That would be my guess. SiteGround added my username for the prefix on the database and user, so that's probably right.

Does Startlogic have any documentation on how vDeck handles MySQL?

[tinker]

I tried that and it didn't work.
I have read any and all documentation they have on MySQL(almost nothing) and there isn't anything of any use to my problem. In one of the documents they said that they don't off tech support for My SQL anymore so thats why I haven't called them yet but I guess thats my only option now. I'll call them again and hopefully I get the same guy as I did last time and he can help me out.

[.Maleficus.]

Hm, I really don't know what's going on then. Definitely call tech support and see what they can do for you.

[tinker]

Yea.
I'll call tech support tomorrow.
I've got some schoolwork that needs done first though.
Woohoo...
