MySql

[paul-holmes83]

I am trying to run a script that is asking qustions about my DB that I do not know the answers to all the questions I will list the questions and my answers in ( ) I will put a ??? where I do not know.

Database Type (MySQL)
Database Host (localhost) ???
Database Port ????
Database Username (sherlock_paul)
Database Password (********)
Database Name (sherlock_familytree)
Use the DB to provide UTF8 collation (yes)
Database Table Prefix (pgv_) this was already provided by the script.

It is mainly the host and port that I am not sure about, but I have provided the others for checking in case I got it wrong.

Yeah all are correct. providing the database you created is sherlock_familytree, and database username is sherlock_paul


But my suggestion is to reduce the DatabaseName just for the sake of avoiding any further issues.

Thanks for that, all set up now, could not really shorten DB name the sherlock part was already provided and I thought family tree was quite descriptive of what the DB was for.
