For connecting to your MySQL Database, you will need a 'Server Location', which is 'localhost'.

 

For remote access, I believe you can use either 'stevie.heliohost.org:3306' or 'stevie.heliohost.org' (try 'em both!).

 

MySQL Databases (usernames, passwords and databases) can be managed within the 'MySQL Databases' section in cPanel.

i'm trying to install the wordpress.

In wp-config.php i must define the

define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');

but not "localhost" or'stevie.heliohost.org:3306' or 'stevie.heliohost.org' did not not match

Strange. If you are hosting your WordPress blog on your HelioHost account, localhost should work.

 

Have you...

1. Created a database (eg. jje_db)

2. Created a user (eg. jje_user)

3. Assigned the user to the database with 'All Privledges'.

 

Be aware that your database name and username have 'jje_' or whatever your username is at the start.

 

All the above steps can be completed within cPanel.

You will need to configure Remote MySQL in CPanel to access your database remotely.

I can't connect with "localhost" either ...

but after a little testing i found out i can connect with "127.0.0.1:3306"

Hope this helps
