title: Opencart Issue Config Step 3 - "Error: Could not connect to the database please make..."
body: <p>IF someone is familiar with Opencart please help. I am in the stages of experimenting with shopping carts and I have very little knowledge MySQL.</p>
  <p><strong>Issue</strong></p>
  <p><em>&quot;Error: Could not connect to the database please make sure the database server, username and password is correct!&quot;</em></p>
  <p>I have been through Cpanel and created a Database (DB) to fill in the relevant fields. These are the fields that I have filled:</p>
  <blockquote>
  <p>(drop down) MySQLi - MySQL (What is the difference?)</p>
  <p>(Input Field) Database Host : localhost (where does this need to point to?)</p>
  <p>(Input) Username and then password : I have entered a password without special characters, but I     can't remove the underscore from the user name. These were made in Cpanel.</p>
  <p>Database Name : I have entered the database name here but cant remove &quot;dsdsdsd_databasename&quot;</p>
  <p>Database Prefix : oc_ I have left this as is... What is this prefix?</p>
  </blockquote>
  <p>And the I have entered the username admin and password - any pointers?</p>
