So, I'm trying to install MyBB, but I keep getting this error:

Quote:Error

There seems to be one or more errors with the database configuration information that you supplied:

• Could not connect to the database server at '127.0.0.1' with the supplied username and password. Are you sure the hostname and user details are correct?
  

Once the above are corrected, continue with the installation.

I'm hosting my Database on my own PC, but I can't get further than this. Other than Localhost or 127.0.0.1, I don't know any other hostname. The username and password are -I think- correct, considering I haven't made any other user for my database, and the database name is also correct.

basically localhost should work for the database server.

But it doesn't, that's the problem.
