Database path query
llista
Anonymous
I am trying to set up Geeklog for the first time and I have this problem/query, in line:
Can I leave just "localhost"?
If I do leave "localhost" I get error:
Text Formatted Code
$_DB_host = 'localhost'; // host name or IP address of your DB servererror selecting database
If I enter the my website domain name in the form "domain.eu" I get error:
Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Access denied for user 'pacman_pacman'@'bushnell.servermatrix.com' (using password: YES) in /home/jilbabe/public_html/news/system/databases/mysql.class.php on line 120
Cannot connect to DB server
(Note: MySQL database name is 'pacman_pacman' and already exists)
If I enter the IP address my webhost gave me to upload my website with FTP a get a very similar error.
Should I ask which dedicated IP/address of DB server to the webhost?
I just don't know if this is the same as the domain name of my website or the IP I have for FTP. I tried both and they don't work maybe they forgot giving me some other details I need to make this work.
Thank you

Your hosting service should have told you what to use for the DB server name. "localhost" is usually fine when the MySQL server is on the same machine as your Geeklog install. If it doesn't work (as in your case), then you need to use another name.
Also see the FAQ: Access denied for user (MySQL)
