Your database server is "localhost"
you if you made a database called "test" it auto prepends your cpanel name to it and so it would show say "tammyl_test" as the database name and a username would generally be tammyl_myusername you can confirm those names looking at the "mysql databases" item on your cpanel

ok so for the database server i put "localhost" ? Or is "localhost' another name for ..... gargadon.pcriot.com or something like that?

yeah i made vwar and it showed database name as tammyl_vwar. cool so my database was correct.
