My Sql Server Name?

[vertekal]

I'm trying to set up Dreamweaver MX's MySQL connection, and it asks for the following:

 

Connection name (can be anything)

MySQL Server

User Name: (set to my CPanel username)

Password: (set to my CPanel password)

Database: (set to the SQL database name I'm working with)

 

Anyway, what is the name of my SQL server? is it www.mydomainname.com? is it serverXX.totalchoicehosting.com (where XX is my server number)? Plz help!

ooo i figured it out:

 

if you're using Macromedia Dreamweaver MX and have to set up a MySQL connection:

 

Connection Name: Anything_you_want

MySQL Server: localhost

User Name: Your_Cpanel_Username

Password: Your_Cpanel_Password

Database: Click the "Select" button, you should get a list of your databases to choose from!

 

I thought I had tried "localhost" before as the MySQL server name, but maybe I was using the wrong username. Either way, it's working! Yay!

Thanks for the info!

 

That should come in handy.
