You have 2 problems, 1 easy, the other not.
Easy first: Host name is localhost, not zymic.com.
Harder: Your user/database names are too long, by 1 character, and there is nothing you can do from your current site. Thesollution is to set up a dummy site, e.g revoluion.vndv.com (although I suspect that exact example is taken) and set up the db etc on that site, then connect to that db from your revolutionchaos site.
Hope this makes sense.

Simple, on your real site, when you need to add the database info, just type the name of the dummy ones you created.
And you still will be using localhost.
