olympicadvantage Posted June 5, 2005 Posted June 5, 2005 Help needed please! I am trying to install phpBB from scratch, and have uploaded all of the files. I created a db in mysql, called it phpbb, and took note of the id and password I had to create too. Now, the problem is when I am trying to install phpBB, it is asking me for two things: Database Server Hostname / DSN: Your Database Name: I have tried many combinations, and they are still not working. My site address is www.nashville360.com. For the Database Server Hostname, I tried 'phpbb' and 'nashvill_phpbb' and even 'nashvill_360', and that didnt' seem to work. For the Database Name, I am using 'nashvill_phpbb'. Any ideas would be appreciated. Quote
TCH-Rick Posted June 5, 2005 Posted June 5, 2005 The hostname should be localhost. The database name looks correct. Also be sure you have added the user to the database in CPanel. Quote
