Nate Hall	Wednesday 22 October 2003 11:57:07 am Through my host, I can set up a new SQL database via the browser. I'm given the datbase name, username,password, and address (mysqlhost). I'm not sure what I'm supposed to put in the field for "Servername:"???? I've tried everything but I keep getting this error message: "The database would not accept the connection, please review your settings and try again." HELP!
Alex Jones	Wednesday 22 October 2003 12:06:26 pm Try using the address 'mysqlhost' you listed above, or try using 'localhost'. Both without the apostrophes. Alex Alex [ bald_technologist on the IRC channel (irc.freenode.net): #eZpublish ] <i>When in doubt, clear the cache.</i>

If your ISP is not using a standard port for the database (3306) it might be on localhost:3400 or other port number.
