Drupal MySql Help...

I need some help setting up my drupal settings file, so that it connects to my database. Can someone help me? This is my first time doing this, and im not used to it. The databse is already set up and installed, I just need help editing the settings file. Thanks!

 

sites/default/settings.php

What you need to change is:

$db_url = 'mysql://username:password@localhost/database';
$db_prefix = ''; 
$base_url = 'http://localhost'; 

Code (markup):

The file is also well commented above each parameter.

 

I was using the new beta, and my settings file does not look like that? Do you know why?

 

Just downloaded the beta, and I see the same....

you have to scroll down to find these lines, in fact all you shall care about are those uncommented lines, they are in second half of the file, each on a different line, I have just extracted/compressed the above three lines, but they are not immediately after each other in the file.....

Example of how to fill:

$db_url = 'mysql://xx_dbuser:topsecretpassword@localhost/xx_dbname';
$db_prefix = ''; 
$base_url = 'http://www.example.com';
