it's usually localhost, but you'll have to ask your server administrator to know for sure.

[jbingman]

yeah localhost is for the computer your on right? not a server that you dont own? Such as I'm hosted through bluehost.com.

It's localhost.

[jbingman]

ok, but whenever i try this. it gives me an error saying 'username'@'localhost' couldnt not be found.

i realize this is a common error but i dont understand what im doing wrong.

You can check in your hosting panel that if any database user is created for accessing the databases on your server.

 

And if the database user is created on your database server, then check that its assign to the database you are using.

[jbingman]

yeah theres a database and a username in that database but it gives me the

Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Access denied for user 'admin'@'localhost' (using password: YES) in /home/fresnosa/public_html/admin/index.php on line 18
Could not connect: Access denied for user 'admin'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

 

Error everytime i click submit.
