MyBB Community Forums

Ok... well, after trail and error, I finally got my MyBB forum uploaded to my ftp ... I got the link, and I'm trying to install it... I'm on the "Database Configuration" part, and I don't know what to put for "Database Username" and "Database Password"... do I put my ftp username and pass or what?

Sorry for this noob question... I hope sombody can help me

Thankyou,
Snowy.

ok... now I'm pretty sure on what to put in the "database username", but I'm unsure of what to put in the "Database Host"... its not a local host, becuase I have this on a paid hosting plan... so... I'm not sure... if anybody could help, that would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

It should be localhost, even if it's paid.

Database pass and username are the requirements from your NEW(?) database.

You have to get this information from your webhost. The "localhost" is relative to your web server, so if you put "localhost" it actually means the webserver itself. You can usually find the database user/password in your host's control panel or cPanel.

Ok, thanks for everything.. I got it all figured out now
