I have opened up my cpanel an created db (MMMM I THINK I HAVE) all i need is someone to talk me through the details I have and where to put them Thanks alot

 

Generally you set localhost as the database hostname 99% of the time.

,All you need to provide is the name of the database that you setup in Cpanel. followed by your username and password for MySQL (this maybe the same as your Cpanel Account however check with your host about this).

 

All other fields you can leave blank.

This thread is more than a year old. Please don't revive it unless you have something important to add.
