Byron Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 I've never used joomla but I believe it's localhost.
Guest Geoff Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 You need to use the host "localhost", and then use your cpanel username and password to log into the database.
jje Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 Create the database, username and password in cPanel under 'MySQL Databases'. Example: Hostname: localhost Username: jje_user Password: testpassword Database name: jje_dbname

Our responsibility is not to hold your hand, but to help you fix something when it goes wrong. I recommend consulting the Joomla documentation/support forum to get a better understanding of how to install/use Joomla. If you haven't already, please consult this link--there is an entire section dedicated to configuring the database: http://help.joomla.org/content/category/15/99/132/
raman Posted January 26, 2011 Author Posted January 26, 2011 actually i have used jommla before,, i am just asking that what is HOST NAME that i should write ,,that is the information that i should get here,,,,,LOCAL HOST is entered when installed on pc or local server ,,, confused ,,,everything is right just error on HOST NAME
jje Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 Ok. The hostname for MySQL is 'localhost'. This automatically detects the actual address/hostname on the local server (the HelioHost sever).
