I had Joomla 1.5 plain vanilla running. Yesterday I downloaded & installed Teline III on top of Joomla — looked great & got most of my data, but didn’t have the bells & whistles. I looked on this forum & learned I had to do a clean install to get it working, so I erased my host directory, uploaded the quick install, ran it, & the problems started. The installer goes through the first 3 screens & dies at the 4th. I can’t link to the MySQL db. In step 4 the error message I get from the installer is “Unable to connect to the database:Could not connect to MySQL”

My host is GoDaddy, The vanilla Joomla & yesterday’s overinstall worked till I took it down. I’ve uninstalled MySql & reinstalled it. Godaddy’s control panel says its there & working. Still can’t connect to DB.

Any help is appreciated.

SOLVED – I had an incomplete path to the MySql server – Up & running – Thanks
