Database configuration for drupal

[wmaarten80]

hi there, we managed to upload and i am ready for a fresh drupal installation, but when trying to configure the database it goes wrong... i pre-created a mysql-db with a privileged user, so i suspect i need this data for the database configuration, what should i put for database host, just localhost? or something like boru?

while setting up the database next error message is displayed:
"user warning: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ') ORDER BY fit DESC LIMIT 0, 1' at line 1 query: SELECT * FROM menu_router WHERE path IN () ORDER BY fit DESC LIMIT 0, 1 in /home/maar10w/public_html/includes/menu.inc on line 315."

so obviously it has to do with the database configuration. Also, manually adapting the settings.php file in function of the created database doesn't bring me much further at all, then i don't even reach the starting page of my drupal installation. i am supposed to configure the database withing drupal install itself and not manually in the settings.php file or not?

Hello,

Localhost is correct. What are you using for your MySQL username?

Thanks.
