What does this mean?

[steven]

I'm trying to install the freeware version 0.9, (because it won't let me get 0.91) but it won't let me check my database connectivity. It says
Warning: Unknown MySQL Server Host 'baddealings' (0) in db_mysql.php on line 29. What should Ido to fix this?

This is what I read in CuteHTML
if ( 0 == $this->link_id ) {
if ($this->password=="") {
$this->link_id=mysql_pconnect($this->server,$this->user);
} else {
$this->link_id=mysql_pconnect($this->server,$this->user,$this->password);
}
if (!$this->link_id) {
$this->halt("Link-ID == false, connect failed"

Now I know that I will have to put my password, but where should I put my user name/hostname, anywhere other than the config.php file? thanks

[quote] Host 'baddealings' [/quote]

If mysqld is running on the same computer as your webserver and PHP, the host should normally be 'localhost'. If it is not 'localhost', it should be an IP address/domain name of the mysql server.

Thanks wanderer for the reply, as I fixed that step. However in step 4 it says
Setting up tables...

post the email you got, it will tell you what the error was.

My question now is in the config.php file, do i use the freeware forum dbname, or should i delete the freeware forum and leave it blank? Because the freeware forum dbname is is uploaded it gives me this message
Connect failed: unexpected error from the database.

Error number: 1044

Error description: Access denied for user: 'baddealings@localhost' to database 'freewareforum'

Please ensure that the database and server is correctly configured and try again.

And when I delete freeware forums as the dbname, it gives me the message i posted above. So I am in a catch 22. What should I do
