I get the following error when I try to set up the guestbook.

For "Your database" I typed "guestbook", for my sqlhost I typed my website address "mysite.com", for "Your Mysql Name" I typed "test" and for "Your Mysql password" I typed 123. The error I get is:

Cannot connect to database

MySQL Error : Cannot connect to database

Hey Mark....I see now.....after writing you 2 letters....I came to this forum and see your problem.

<?php
/* database settings */

$GB_DB["dbName"] = "***";
$GB_DB["host"] = "***";
$GB_DB["user"] = "***";
$GB_DB["pass"] = "***";

Ok....you first must have PHP support AND a MySQL account.

For MySQL account...you should have a "database name", your "hostname" (usually 'localhost'), "username", and the "password" for your database.

The username is not "test"....the "password is not "123" for your database. "test" and "123" is just for the guestbook administrator once you get your guestbook to work.
