pea_1 Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 Hello. I'm new to SQL databases. I should probably ask in the PHPBB forum but this is also a general question. I'm trying to set up the forum and it's asking for database name, database username and database password. Are these the same as my ftp username and pass or should my host give me a separate one? Thanks. Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Stealth Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 Who's your host? They should of given you separate details for your databases. If not, for the host use: localhost For the password, use the one in your ftp As for the database name, well im not sure, it could be anything, try your user name. Check the package that you have with your host and confirm that it does support MySQL. Might i also add that the local host may not work as the databases could be on a different server, some hosts do this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fenway Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 Sounds like a question for your host. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
