Using "skdb.99k.org" as the SQL Host?
I am assuming that the SQL Server should be the name of the Domain as well?
The error is usually down to the communications between the Website and the SQL Box. (SQL being overloaded)
Can anyone confirm?

Hey
I went to your website and had a look in installation.
Follow this in sql Installation
First make sure that you already :
1- create a Mysql database in Zymic cpanel
2- create a password of database
3- assigned privelleges to database
Fill the blanket as follow :
Database type: mysql
Host name : localhost
Username : the name you create in database managment panel (like that: skdb_99k_org_nameyoudid)
Password : the password chosen when creating database
Database name : the same as Username
Good luck.

You're using LOCALHOST as the MySQL server?
That is the only way it's going to work.

Not only you, I am getting the same error since today. After posting or looking through my forum posts, I am periodically getting that Proxy 502 Error. It had a lot of my posting time just repetitive posting and all. Can someone get into the issue of this 502 proxy error?
the error looks like this:
Proxy Error 502
The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server.
The proxy server could not handle the request GET /forum/
Sometimes when i try to login to admin CP i get the same error but with "request get adm/index.php"
or at times viewing the forum i get "request viewforum.php"

I have had this issue when installing ZenCart, It took a day to get around but finally after many ways of trying succeded.
- First off I deleted everything off the server, then downloaded a previous version of the latest ZenCart, Deleted all databases and then created a new one etc.
- - Then I uploaded everything into a subfolder rather than the root, eg htmdocs/zen
- - - Then when Installing I made sure the tables created in the database had a prefix eg zen_tablename (Cant remember with joomla but you should have this option somewhere when installing)(this step was the most effective step, saw results straight away, but something still wasn't working so thats when I started fresh)
After creating the database don't forget to give the user permissions, localhost is the host, and yeh that how i got round it, not sure if it will work for everyone but It would definatly be an idea if zymic approached this issue on a sticky post or something.

I get this error when trying to install Joomla 1.5.6 on zamajam.99k.org:
Proxy Error
The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server.
The proxy server could not handle the request POST /installation/index.php.
Reason: Error reading from remote server
It is on the database creation screen. I have setup a database through my cPanel, set all priveleges, set username and paswword. I noticed a post on how to install Joomla on Zymic and it mentions having to chmod the configuration.php file, would this be the reason this is not working (I have not done that yet)?

I don't know if this was the answer or not, but I had not created a table on the database before trying to install. Once I added a table to the database, the installation worked perfectly.
