wildteen88 Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 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.
