Any mods you've made to your site: Can't even install...
Version of PHP: 5.2.6
Version of MySQL: 5.0.51a-community
Have you searched for your problem: (yes/no) yes, EVERYWHERE.
If so, what terms did you try: the error message it gives me upon saying can't connect to the database, php fusion installment, mysql error php fusion
State the nature of your problem: I can't get passed the Config MySql database part, no matter what I do.
Do you have a test account for us how if I can't install it..
it's just that simple, I know how to fill out the setup.php form, but no matter what I do, all hope fails.
I get this error message every time: Error: Unable to establish database connection.
Please verify your MySQL settings.
I would really like to get this resolved.. I'ved done this on multiple webhosts and the same thing happens. I'm a big fan of php fusion, I used it on a different website that I had admin on, and would like to install it for myself. can anyone help me asap? :o

May not apply in your case but remember that not all hosts use "localhost" as the host name for SQL.

localhost was the first thing I made sure I was doing correct. Got all my info straight from phpmyadmin

Database names also often get a prefix, based on the name of your account...
answered
muscapaul's right. On some servers both the DB name AND DB username need your account name;
DB: a12345_yourdb
DB username: a12345_yourdbusername
DB: a12345_yourdb
DB username: a12345_yourdbusername

...localhost may not be correct - I had thought the same however my original installation was from way back in 2004. Today, I found that the correct setup was actually:
Database Hostname: myispusername.ipowermysql.com

I've noted that often times, when you ask a question in this forum, the answers provided can be very belittling so I'm going to start participating again. Most everyone here is here to learn. If Digi were still around, you would have had a straight answer immediately.

Gojuryu, it says in the Readme
That is provided by the Host of the site.
We can not second guess what those details should be in every single configuration, but "localhost" is a very common denomination and may be right in many cases.
This does not take away that you should, obviously, have knowledge of the correct information.

Make sure you have your mysql access details at hand including the hostname, username, password and database name as you will need to specify these during setup.

Richard is right. If you run setup and comment out step 3 and 4, you can test the connectivoty settings actually.
