You'll often be asked to supply your MySQL database information in order to complete a software installation.
First, make sure you've actually created a MySQL database along with an authorized user (see the other article about this). Make sure to note:
- the database's name,
- the username of the user authorized on this database,
- the user's password.
You should now have all the information needed for your web software:
- Your hostname should be: localhost
- Database name: the name of your database created earlier (generally takes the form cpaneluser_dbname, where cpanelusername is your Solutionz-eWeb username)
- Username: the name of the MySQLuser authorized to use your database (NOT your cPanel username).
- Password: the password for the MySQL user authorized to use your database (NOT your cPanel password)
- If a port is asked, simply leave the default port (3306)
