Configuration Settings:
Host name = localhost (literally put localhost)
Database name = (cpanelUsername_databaseName)
Database username = (cpanelUsername_databaseUsername)
Database password = (whatever you picked)
// ** MySQL settings - You can get this info from your web host ** //
/** The name of the database for WordPress */
define('DB_NAME', 'joe1337_wrdp1');
/** MySQL database username */
define('DB_USER', 'joe1337_wp1');
/** MySQL database password */
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'eHTb7%Pxa9');
/** MySQL hostname */
define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');
Note: When you move databases to our servers, the database name and username may change. This change must be updated in your script code. (The database name and username is clearly displayed in cPanel, in the MySQL area.)
On shared servers, the database user name cannot be changed to something without the cPanel user name in it.
It is possible for someone to use their cPanel username and password to connect to the database. However, we NEVER recommend doing this because the first time you change or reset your cPanel password, then your databases will stop working.
Note: If connecting from your home computer, you need a MySQL client like Navicat, phpMyAdmin, or Dreamweaver.
Configuration Settings:
Host name = (use the server IP address)
Database name = (cpanelUsername_databaseName)
Database username = (cpanelUsername_databaseUsername)
Database password = (whatever you picked)
MySQL Connection Port = 3306
TCP or UDP, either is fine.
