You will either have to look in your control panel or speak to your hosts about the exact settings of your MySQL server.

hi

thxs for ur reply, but cant seem to get it to work, still get the same error....although the mysql settings are correct

my site is on one server and my db is on another server they connect through a router do u think that the problem is there?

everything seems to be setup correctly just dont understand why it cant connect to mysql

gi

If it's on a different server did you replace localhost with the name of the server?

finally got my guestbook running on serverr

only had to reset admin pasword 'cause for some reason i cant understand my admin user and password where rejected and my style settings where changed too, but got that fixed too

couldnt connect to mysql 'cause the php was not properly configured on the server

thxs for ur help and pacience carbonize
