JoeKool Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 From what Ive learned so far, if you havent changed anything then.. database is localhost username is root and no password Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 'database server' is usually 'localhost' Before further installation you must create an empty database - and add username/password to it - do this through your webhosting control panel - look for 'MySQL' Matti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
