You must change localhost to the database server name username.powwebmysql.com where username is your username for OPS.

Thanks for posting the screenshot to make it obvious (to me). I just installed Zen Cart on another host and had to change that. ;)

You can send a Private Message to me in this forum and include a link to your screenshot again since it was removed from the forum. You said you had it working. Is this another database? If so, create a new screenshot.

I will be attending a dinner party with one of my clients, so I will not be in the office this afternoon. I will check my email again later.
