Im having a problem installing a fairly easy script. I dont have any server side knowledge.

I host my websites with siteground have already asked them for help but they will charge $50 so rubber that when i have my good friends here that are always a great help. Its an easy

Its asking for :

Host
DB Name
DB Password
DB Username

I tried to set up a db with mysql then assign a username but it never worked.

Think it might be the host i was getting wrong or password.

Anyhelp is greatly appreciated.

@blue-eye-labsJan 05.2008 — have you used "http://" for the host, because mysql_connect() can't work with that.

@scragarJan 06.2008 — you should get an error:

[b]Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Unknown MySQL server host[/b] <-- means that the host name is wrong.

[b]Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Access denied for user[/b] <-- is a username or password error.

the mysql_error:

[b]Unknown database[/b]

says that the database doesn't exist. Easy enough to spot the problems.
