Guest Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 Should the word "localhost" be replaced with "mysitename.com" or anything else in each of my configure.php files? or should it just left as "localhost"...I just don't get it !!!! // define our database connection define('DB_SERVER', 'localhost'); // eg, localhost - should not be empty for productive servers define('DB_SERVER_USERNAME', 'myusername'); define('DB_SERVER_PASSWORD', 'mypassword'); define('DB_DATABASE', 'mydatabase'); define('USE_PCONNECT', 'false'); // use persistent connections? define('STORE_SESSIONS', ''); // leave empty '' for default handler or set to 'mysql' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlanR Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 localhost means that the database software is running on the same server as the webserver s/w (usually Apache). This is common but not always the case, some hosting companies run the database software on dedicated database servers. If this is the case you'll find information on how to connect to the db servers in your site's control system. Local: Mac OS X 10.5.8 - Apache 2.2/php 5.3.0/MySQL 5.4.10 • Web Servers: Linux Tools: BBEdit, Coda, Versions (Subversion), Sequel Pro (db management) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
