FAQ

How do I set up my database name on a server ?
You may have cpanel and then you can use the mysql wizard which will let you choose the name of the database, the database user and password.
You might not have this option and will then have to use phpmyadmin to create a database and user the username and password as provided by your hosting provider.

** It does not accept my database settings ? **
You may find that your database name should just be localhost rather than myserver.com, also check your database username and password are as provided or as set up with your host, some add details to the username you pick for example you type in username dave and you host may adjust this to myservername_dave.
