If my host is network solutions let's say do I just put in `define('DB_HOST, 'network solutions')or do I have to put in <a href="http://www.networksolutions.com" rel="nofollow">www.networksolutions.com</a> or just network solutions .com? </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/configuration-file#post-966 Thu, 06 Mar 2008 14:25:12 +0000 WarPig 966@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>It's generally localhost, unless your host/admins have set a specific host for your db's. Try "localhost", if it fails go through your cpanel configs and see what's set there.... </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/configuration-file#post-965 Thu, 06 Mar 2008 13:58:05 +0000 chemenephillips 965@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Great, thanks. One last question, not sure if you can answer.</p> <p>Would what I put in for the host be my cpanal website or would it just be the standard website for my host? </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/configuration-file#post-964 Thu, 06 Mar 2008 13:36:31 +0000 WarPig 964@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>On the username/password for the admin side, it can be whatever you want it to be. I wouldn't make it the same as other passwords... Someone with read access to this file can easily get access. </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/configuration-file#post-963 Thu, 06 Mar 2008 13:34:45 +0000 WarPig 963@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>It should look like this:</p> <p><code>define(&#39;DB_NAME&#39;, &#39;your_db_name_here&#39;)</code></p> <p>Same goes for the other 4 settings (user, pass and host). So if raffle is your db name, then it should be:</p> <p>`define('DB_NAME', 'raffle') </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/configuration-file#post-962 Thu, 06 Mar 2008 13:34:33 +0000 chemenephillips 962@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Also, does the admin username and password have to match that on my hosting server for my database or can this be any new username and password? </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/configuration-file#post-961 Thu, 06 Mar 2008 13:22:51 +0000 chemenephillips 961@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Hello,</p> <p>I am setting up a database and form for my very first time. Please forgive me if I am about to ask a stupid question but when I am following the directions for the configuration file it says (for example) DB_NAME. Do I actually type that and then my information or do I just type my information? For example: electric_raffle if raffle is my database name.</p> <p>Thank you, I searched for a previous post for this but didn't see anything and I want to make sure I do it right the first time. </p>
