I'm installing WordPress and I just need to know what's the host for MySQL databases? 'localhost' doesn't seem to work, otherwise everything is running smoothly.

Anyone know?
Andrew
It is localhost.

Post what your using for database name and username.
It's probably too long. Can't be longer than 16 characters

Andrew

HeartOfPandora
No, wait, it's still one too long lol.

OMG! Why did I do this to myself, I feel so sick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I knew what was awaiting me and I still watched it, oh no!
It's the Hostel!!!!!!!! Sorry I just had to get it off my chest!

Anyways, I changed the channel.

I uploaded wordpress 2.6.2 on Zymic, but I keep getting the 404 error message.
What is wrong? My username and everything is correct.

Still, it would help if you would post your details (except for the password). Telling us that you're getting 404 message doesn't help as there could be a lot of ways to get that error. happy.gif

define('DB_HOST', 'localhost'); // 99% chance you won't need to change this value
define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8');
define('DB_COLLATE', '');

// Change each KEY to a different unique phrase. You won't have to remember the phrases later,

$table_prefix = 'wp_'; // Only numbers, letters, and underscores please!

// Change this to localize WordPress. A corresponding MO file for the
// chosen language must be installed to wp-content/languages.
// For example, install de.mo to wp-content/languages and set WPLANG to 'de'
// to enable German language support.
define ('WPLANG', '');

@Muhammad:
It seems that you've already installed wordpress but it doesn't seemed to be installed properly. Erase the contents of your database or erase the old and make a new one. You can make a new installation of wordpress. And then, your database name and username are more than 16 characters. "actuality_actuality" is 19 characters long. It has to 16 characters. Your "actuality_" is 10 characters so you'll need only 6 characters... it'll be "actuality_XXXXXX" where X is any character that you'd want.

@reicheru: it might be your .htaccess file.

To clear previous installation, just delete the tables within the database. Could you post what the error says exactly? Thanks.
