This question seems to be coming up a lot lately, so to give MrPhil a break  Applause I decided to do a little more specific pontificating on the topic via the Lunarpages web hosting wiki.  You can find all the details you need here:

How to Connect to MySQL and PostgreSQL Databases in LPCP

Hope it comes in handy!

 Very Happy

Nice but it doesn't clear up why everyone (including me) can't figure out what the appropriate db username should be.

This might also be a good time to bring up the point that if you see anything missing or not mentioned or something you would like to see mentioned in a better way, let me know and I'll do my best to get it in the web hosting wiki.  Thumbs Up

Every time someone asks how to connect to their database, they're trying to use an IP address or they're giving "@servername" in the username field. I don't know where they're coming up with these bizarre notions, but you should extend your wiki entry to show exactly what all the fields should look like (hostname, user name, and database name).
