hi all, I'm a little new at this scripting game.
I'm trying to install a script, but first I have to edit the config.php file.
Now I know what most of it means, but I'm stuck on the term "localhost".
Is that my URL?, my hosts url?, or the /file as in http://dhhfhfs.com/file

Feel free to call me a moron, I'm sure I deserve it lol. But please help!!

It wants you to enter your SQL host.
the default is "localhost" but if its does not work check on your
host's website documention. (faq answer this qustion alot)

this is the default connection thing, if you were to post your config.php it would be easier to give you the answer:

PHP Code:

<?php



$dbc=mysql_connect(localhost,root,password);

mysql_select_db(database);



?>

localhost is your mysql host, ask your web host for that, root is the username, password is password, and the database is the database that you will be working with

If his config.php is like 89% of all other config files it would look like ..

PHP Code:

<?

   $user = "your user name";

   $pass = "your password";

   $host = "localhost";

But I don't think it matters what his config file looks
like he just did not not what Localhost was by the
sounds of it.

alls what he has to do is find out the sql host and change the above to

PHP Code:

<?

   $user = "your user name";

   $pass = "your password";

   $host = "your MySQL host";
