config.php MySQL

[rowlandc]

Hi,

I'm pretty sure you get flooded with this kind of question all the time but I can't seem to find any answer to this question. :)

I just bought a package and I've been having a look at the config.php file. Everything looks fine for the moment expect how does a DATABASE NAME look like.

Do I have to create a database in my phpMyadmin area? or if install a database do I just have a default file.

I still actually created a database to makesure called mysqldata.

When you have the code would it be something down this line:

$config['Database']['dbname'] = 'mysqldata';

or do I have to define it more e.g. www.domain.net/sql/mysqldata (http://www.domain.net/sql/mysqldata)

$config['Database']['dbname'] = 'www.domain.net/sql/mysqldata (http://www.domain.net/sql/mysqldata)';

I'm asking the people which I host the site on but they have a long waiting time to answer the questions, so I'm asking you guys which seem quite friendly.

Thank You

If the database you have created is named "mysqldata" then that is what you will need to use in the config.php.

Make sure that you have also created a MySQL user and assigned it to this database with full permissions.

PS Naming it "mysqldata" might not be the best choice, i suggest naming it "forum" or another name that describe it's use.
