[Zelix]

The craziest thing I tell people is that I can now understand HTML and a little of PHP like WOW as i did learn on my own!  Yet Im not an expert by far but by messing with these forums I promise you will learn! But back to the Zelix's help! Sorry for the off topic convo u guys! lol

So.. ?? I need any help guys

OK... One last try...

If you don't know the things that you need, WE CAN'T TELL YOU!

YOU HAVE TO GET THAT INFORMATION FROM YOUR HOST.

I can't put it any more clearly. You can say what you want, here. But, we REALLY can't help you, much as we wish that we could. It's IMPOSSIBLE for us to know the details that you want.

Once more, ASK YOUR HOST.

[Kindred]

And stop posting here, asking for help until after your host has responded.

It's not our fault that your host has a 24 hour response period.

What this guys:

Hello,

It seems you are using incorrect MySQL hostname: we do not use 'localhost' our MySQL hostname is in 'mysqlXX.000webhost.com' format. In order to get your MySQL host name, please logon to cPanel and click on 'MySQL' icon. Then update your script configuration and change 'localhost' to your MySQL hostname.

Regards,
Helpdesk Staff

*************************************************

I just removed the old MySQL, and created new, as you see here:

[link removed]

okay and replaced them on Insatller SMF, as you see here: [link removed]
Got the same error, I hope you fix this for me, because I'm new here, and i don't really understand as well.

Please do not post your SQL username and certainly not password in a public place.

You still have the mySQL host wrong. Please replace the server name field with:

mysql5.000webhost.com

[Kindred]

Oh.... My.... Gods....

Nit only did the host tell you the format that the host server setting wold be, but The first image tells you, right in  the red bordered sections what values to use...   And yet you persist in using the wrong value.

How is ANYONE supposed to help you when you are willfully ignoring the data rightin front of your face as well as the advice given?

[Colin]

I see the confusion. The specific words "Server Name" are present on the right of that image. I can see how that would be confusing for someone starting out.

Thanks Colin.
