MySQL help please - dbServer

Hi,

I am trying to install a script which requires a MySQL database. I created a new database and new user. The script has a config.php file where you update all the information, but I can't seem to get it to work, because I don't know the path to my database. Anyone know how I can retrieve that information?

$dbServer = "localhost";
	$dbUser = "newuser";
	$dbPass = "newpass";
	$dbName = "efflux_org";

Code (markup):

Using localhost gives a unknow mysql error when I try to run install.php to create the tables.

 

Edit: My bad - Thought you were looking for how to connect

Is localhost infact the hostname?

 

There doesn't look to be anything wrong there, are you sure all variables are correct and that non of them have some text prefixed which can happen on some shared hosting accounts

 

Opps, my bad, I didn't have the database associated with the new user. All works now

 

Well done dopey
