Istallation Help

When I use these settings for my VBB,

<?php

// only mysql is supported at the moment
$dbservertype="mysql";
// hostname or ip of server
$servername="mediazip.com";
// username and password to log onto db server
$dbusername="batr";
$dbpassword="***********";
// name of database
$dbname="birnie";
//allow password viewing / editing in control panel
// 0 = not visible or editable
// 1 = not visible, but can be edited
// 2 = visible and can be edited
$pwdincp=2;

?>

I get the following error...

Attempting to connect...


Warning: Unknown MySQL Server Host 'mediazip.com' (2) in /home/med1az1p/mediazip-www/webboard/admin/db_mysql.phtml on line 50

Warning: Supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in /home/med1az1p/mediazip-www/webboard/admin/db_mysql.phtml on line 56

Somebody knows more about it?
mediazip.com says that it supports PHP and MYSQL.
What do I do wrong?

Thanks in advance..

The host specified in config.php is not correct. You may try to change it to localhost.

localhost not working

If you know IP address of your host, type it there or ask your host for required info.

I see this is an installation help request, so why not post it to the Installation forum?

I will move it there for you. :)

you need to get with your hosting company and ask them for the location of the mysql server. that's what you will put there.
