Connection settings for MySQL databases

Here is what you need to connect to your database:

1. Hostname
2. Database name
3. Database username
4. Database password
5. Connection settings

The hostname is localhost if you are connecting from a script on the server.

If you are using a domain name to connect remotely, the hostname is the domain name.

If you have problems using localhost, you can try using the IP address 127.0.0.1 instead.

The database name and username need to be entered exactly as they appear in the MySQL Databases section of your control panel (cPanel).

Remember that when you name a database or create a user, your cPanel username will always be added to the beginning. For example, if your cPanel username is zebra123 and you create a database named savanna, your database name will actually be: zebra123_savanna

Additionally, there is an eight-character limit on database usernames. If you enter a username with more than eight characters, the extra characters will be discarded.

As a note, it is possible to have more than one user assigned to the database. However, do not assign the same user to two or more databases as this could cause problems.

The password is the one you specified when you created the username. If you forgot your password, you can find it in the script's configuration file. Alternatively, you can remove the user from the database and then create a new password by re-adding the user. You may need to edit the script's configuration file if you use the alternative method.

Please make sure you have added the database user to the database. Under Add User to Database, you must select the user and the database from the dropdown lists and then click the Add button. You should see the connection code provided if you have done this.
