HELP WITH INSTALL!!!

I am trying to do a fresh install. When I login this is what I get.

MySQL Error: Could not connect to the database server. Check your zp-config.php file for the correct Host, User name, and Password.
zenphoto setup
MySQL Error: Could not connect to the database server. Check your zp-config.php file for the correct Host, User name, and Password.
database not connected

Check the zp-config.php file to make sure you've got the right username, password, host, and database. If you haven't created the database yet, now would be a good time.

What am I doing wrong? I have played with the zp-config.php file a few times changing the setting and I am still getting nowhere.

Anyone care to lend a hand? Sorry, but MySQL is a new thing to me...

    MySQL is the database server, so you need to create a database for Zenphoto, or use an existing database. A database is just a named "box" for data tables, and you can set one up usually in your host's control panel. They usually give you the connection information there as well.

    Once you have the correct database name, and the username and password to access the database (you probably also set this in the host's control panel), you should enter that info in the `zp-config.php` file.

    Come back for more help if that doesn't work, and be specific about what you've done, and what you know :-) We're very helpful here. Good luck!
