 * Hi I have set the following.
 * define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘db.armadadistribution.co.uk’); // The name of the database
   
   define(‘DB_USER’, ‘armadacomputers4’); // Your MySQL username define(‘DB_PASSWORD’,‘
   XXXXXX’); // …and password define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘localhost’); // 99% chance you 
   won’t need to change this value.
 * Is this correct my ISP is freedom2surf and I currently have several databases
   running on our server with no problems. So i know they are all working okay.
 * My ISP’s control panels lists the username and database name as ArmadaComputers4
   so am unsure what to put in DB_NAME also I must have to point the code at the
   database location db.armadadistribution.co.uk but also unsure where to put this
   reference.
 * Your help in clearing this up is most appreciated.

 * I think localhost is wrong for f2s ?
    Put the “db.armadadistribution.co.uk” there?

 * Okay I now have
 * define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘armadacomputers4’);
    define(‘DB_USER’, ‘armadacomputers4’);
   define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘XXXXXX’); define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘db.armadadistribution.co.
   uk’);
 * But still no joy, is the db_name supposed to be a table i need to construct inside
   armadacomputers4 or does the install program create this itself in this case 
   should db_name just be the name I wish the database to be.
 * Regards
