Heya :D

Im having trouble finding out where the information for my Mysql database is placed. By info i mean like Database user, Database hos, pw, etc.

Thx in advance

Have you created a database yet? You have to create it yourself (or have an installer do it as part of installing a script like Joomla) and create users + passwords.

Log onto cPanel, "Databases" section, click on mySQLDatabases. It will show you any databases you have and any database users. The passwords should have been made when you created the user. If the user was created by a script, there should be a configuration file that is part of the installation that has the password.

The host is "localhost" .

Your database location will always be localhost. In very rare case when you are installing any software in another server than the server where you have your database then you have to change localhost. I don't know what to write in that situations. May be other members here can answer you for that.
