Guest Geoff Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 You need to use the host "localhost", and then use your cpanel username and password to log into the database. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jje Posted January 25, 2011 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jje Posted January 26, 2011 Share 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). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
