My first time to attempt installing the software, I need to install on Windows based platform hosted at godaddy -
My issue is a db access denied message, most likely because the db user is on a different domain than the database (i.e.:database is at 123.12.12.12 and user is at dbuser@123.10.10.10)
How can I configure this so the install will run? is it possible to edit a file and run the install without the UI?
Access denied for user ‘ojsdbadmin’@‘localhost’ (using password: YES)
I cannot run the install.php command on their shared windows hosting as they do not provide any kind of command line access, after this issue along with others - we have decided to move over to a linux based hosting platform (where I expect the installation to be fine). So don’t spend a ton of effort trying to provide a solution.
Did you get this message when you hit the “install” button? Under “Database Settings” on the installation form, did you enter the IP address for the database server?

It’s likely that the installation process is working, but gets halted by your web server because the request time exceeds the limit (often configured as 30 seconds or similar). If you’re in the process of switching over to a Linux-based server, see if that helps.
