connecting to the database?

[Alert]

Hi. I just need to know the host name. I didnt find it on the control panel anywhere. I tried localhost, but that did not work.

 

Then I tried just my site address, and my user was denied access. However, the user I used has all privileges set.

 

So, if someone could tell me the host? If I was correct, how come it is denying my user?

 

Thanks in advance,

Are you talking about connecting in Mysql? When I connect I use localhost. However for my user name I have to use this "myloginnameforcpanel_mymysqlusername". So suppose I logged into Cpanel with bob and my user name for mysql was jeff I would have to enter bob_jeff as my user name for the mysql connection. Your password is just you regular password.

 

 

Also your database is called yourloginforcpanel_dbname.

 

Not sure if this is what your looking for but hopefully it works.

Localhost is the host name... it always is if you are using the same DB server as HTTP server, which is the case with HelioHost. Try Elivmar's advice...

thanks. using the localhost and the full username worked. What threw me was that when I used the wrong username for localhost it didnt display any errors.
