PHP database questions

[irishstore]

I have uploaded my catalog php files and when I access the folder it comes up with the installaion.
I created a database user, added privileges and then tried to login at the installation screen to compelte installation od Oscommerce.
I am on free hosting plan.
What is the database server address?.
If its stoli.x10hosting.com then I dont know what I am doing wrong as I can't connect to the database to finish the oscommerce installation.
Can anyone help?.

"localhost" without quotes is the db server name

Thanks for the reply, even with that it still says access denied for my user in the database?.

If you post your config file (*********** out passwords) and the full error message you get , it will be easier to help.

Sometimes people create db users, but do not give them full permissions. You can always delete the user and then recreate him (to make sure of password) and then reattach to database, making sure to give all permissions.
