hello
i downloaded a program to my computer and it is php and mysql driven
it wants me to connect to my database but i seem to be having trouble with it
is there any chance you could help me out with the form i have to fill out to connect
Host/servername: ??
username:??
password:??
port:??
remember this is to connect to mysql
and i assume username and password is the one i sign into my database with
You first need to create a database in direct admin. Here you will create a a username and password.
Host: localhost
Username: DAusername_database username
password: whatever you entered when creating the database
Port: Probably 3306
-sighs- it is still not letting me
host/server name: localhost
username: krazy_ridethewind
password: can't really give it to you.
okay well will my username and password be the one when i clcik "phpmyadmin" it pops up with a box, and asks for username and password will that be it.
Sorry I think I've misread your post. Are you trying to run this program from your computer or have you uploaded it to frihost? 
If your running it somewhere else other than Frihost, you'll need to enter frih.net as the host and do this.

Yes, though isn't that the same as the one you just posted? yes, it is a program that i downloaded, it is on my computer, and it is php and mysql driven so it is easier to create my pages on my computer, upload them to Frih.
and it is being hard to connect it is just not connecting, i have put in the details you said, but it is still not connecting properly.
hmm.. there is another way to connect, i can upload a file to my account on Frih.... and it is called php runner, so that will connect it but that is confusing me too as i have to full out username password, port, host, etc...
