How do I find out the database info?

[miscforu]

After transferring my forums from another host to x10 I need to update a file containing all of the database information, specifically the name of the database, the host, the user and the password. I already know the name of the database because it asked me to choose a name upon creating it, however it didn't ask me to choose a username or password, nor did it tell me the host of the database. Any ideas how to find these out?

Thanks!

You would need to create a database user as well and add it to the database. When you view the databases in your control panel there's an icon that looks like a cogwheel, click that and you'll see, among others, the option to manage users. After clicking that you will see a new page displaying users (none at the moment for you) as well as a green button which allows you to "Add a user to the database", which lets you set a name and password to use when installing the script.

As for host, it is localhost.

Great.

Since this is resolved I'll close this thread then.
