setting up open cart but it says it cannot find host name sql301.epizy.com
OpenCart is not supported on free hosting (Free Hosting does not have all the required elements on the server). You can use something like ZenCart, or upgrade to premium hosting to use OpenCart.
Thanks

thanks for the reply, do you know what elements are causing the issue with opencart ?
From Admin:
The issue is that your OpenCart installation tries to load files from outside web accessible directories, but our server configuration prevents this.
oh thanks thats very useful information
i’ll look through the source code and see what its trying to load and patch it to load stuff from within htdocs
but does that explain the mysql error ?
Maybe this will help?

If you copy and pasted the ‘sql301.epizy.com’ from the cPanel, when you paste it it adds a huge space at the end -
If there isn’t a space, then what KangJL and Greenreader9 said is what you should do

oo i did copy / paste
ty i’ll check that
yes this was the issue with the installer failing, im usually very careful when copying
this time i copy/paste again being extra careful just to highlight everything exactly and it installed perfectly thanks
admin login doesnt seem to work lol maybe its that think about trying to store something outside the htdocs but i would have thought accounts are stored in the mysql
anyways gonna take a look at the source code and see what i need to alter to make this run
thanks again
