Description of my issue:
I just want to say that I'm new to joomla and web developing.

Ok here goes! I finish creating a joomla website on my local computer via XAMPP. Then when I tried to upload it to my domain I uploaded all the folders to my server and exported my database from my localhost but I cant import it to my server. I got an Error saying "CREATE DATABASE..... #1044 - Access denied for user...." I tried deleting that line as noted on other forums via dreameaver but that didnt work either. I also see a "No Privilege" on my domain cpanel phpMyadmin database but I have no idea on how to get around this.

Anyway so that way didnt work so I downloaded akeeba backup and kickstart and followed both of the doc that came with it. I successfully created a backup jpa. via joomla control panel. File (label: site-localhost-20110817-233840.jpa). So then I upload the backup jpa. and the kickstart php. to my server root directory but when I try to go to my site (www.mysite.com/kickstart.php) I get a blank screen. I remember reading one of your articles about maybe its because my phpMyAdmin on my server is out of date (phpMyAdmin -2.11.9.5, MySQL client version: 5.0.83). If this is the case then how can I work around this?

Well after another unsuccessful attempt I tried to place the backup and kicker to my local directory to test if it works there but got this message:

http://localhost/joomla15/administrator/
Access forbidden!
You don't have permission to access the requested directory. There is either no index document or the directory is read-protected.
If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster.
Error 403

FYI: My backup folder (admininstrator>components>com_akeeba>backup) only has one .jpa, the log, and a kickstart.php… It does not have the .htaccess or a index.html in it like what I see on the quickstartguide.pdf. I dont know if that has anything to do with it. Sorry for being such a newbie!

Please advice!

Hi Nicholas, Thank you for the fast response.

Everything works now!!!! thank you so much!

I'd called my hosting company so many times but just didn't know the right question to ask but you surely helped me with that and now my site is finally up and running. I love your software and thank you for your support!
