Database help!

[megasonicx]

OK so I have this chatbox script and I upload it to my site thing. Now I'm not sure how exactly to connect to it. If you want the script I can send it to you. Please help me!

Instructions vary widely depending on the script.

Also, chatboxes are known to consume a lot of system resources and using one will likely get you suspended for high resource usage.

I believe the suspension would be automatic for the script itself.

Shoutbox\Chat Scripts Use of these scripts is strictly forbidden due to the amount of MySQL queries they take. Accounts found with chat scripts or shoutboxes will be suspended.

despite the fact that chatbox scripts are against TOS I will give you some info...I am assuming this chatbox is php based? if so you should modify a config.php located in the scripts directory (the script its self should contain intructions) you will first however need to actually create a database (you can do this in cpanel) and a user (also in cpanel) the information about the database is what is required by config.php.

my example for you, if you made a data base called chat and the user for that data base chatusr then in the config you would enter
username:megasonicx_chatusr
password:megasonicx_chat

I hope this helps

I'll try that but do I really need to get rid of the chatbox?
