Edit The MYSQL (DATABASE) Connection File
Once the database tables have been installed into an available MySQL database, in order to connect the Wordpress installation to the Site Store Pro online store files, the /Connections/SiteStoreProDB.php file must be edited to include your specific MYSQL database login information. The SiteStoreProDB.php file is located in the ‘Connections’ folder in the ‘New_Installation’ folder of the files you extracted from the downloaded zip file. Using a text file editor such as NotePad or your preferred HTML editor, you must replace the default SQL connection string values with the login information for your specific MYSQL database where you installed the SQL script in the previous step. The connection string will have the following info: <?php $hostname_SiteStoreProDB = "localhost"; $database_SiteStoreProDB = "database"; $username_SiteStoreProDB = "username"; $password_SiteStoreProDB = "password"; $SiteStoreProDB = mysql_pconnect($hostname_SiteStoreProDB, $username_SiteStoreProDB, $password_SiteStoreProDB) or trigger_error(mysql_error(),E_USER_ERROR); ?>You must replace the 4 values in red with your specific MySQL database login information.
$hostname_SiteStoreProDB = The servername or IP Address of your MYSQL $database_SiteStoreProDB = The name of the database provided by your webhost or entered when setting up the database. $username_SiteStoreProDB = The username provided by your webhost or entered when setting up the database $password_SiteStoreProDB = The password provided by your webhost or entered when setting up the database If you need assistance setting the correct MYSQL connection string for your Site Store Pro installation, please email [email protected] or call (800) 974‐6493 Ext 2.
