jje Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobitur Posted January 2, 2011 Author Share Posted January 2, 2011 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jje Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 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.

Guest Geoff Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 You will need to configure Remote MySQL in CPanel to access your database remotely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBog Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
