I'm trying to install wordpress on my site, if I use fantastico I get an error on step 2, if I use softaculous I get an error when I send information. So i decided to install it manually and now I have to config the config.php file. This is what I've done:
1) Started Mysql database wizard from cpanel and made a new database with new user (full permissions) and password.

define('DB_NAME', 'theonefromthewizard');

/** MySQL database username */
define('DB_USER', ''theonefromthewizard');

/** MySQL database password */
define('DB_PASSWORD', ''*****');

/** MySQL hostname */
define('DB_HOST', 'WHATSHOULDIPUTHERE?');

I tried with localhost and mysql.x10hosting.com but when I go to the install.php file it says that there is an error establishing a connection to the database.

@EDIT: Eheh why did you edited my post removing the password? It wasn't real like database name and database user ;)

localhost is correct. If it doesn't work, MySQL might be temporarily down.
