Setting up Joomla in a shared domain

« on: February 13, 2008, 05:55:48 PM »

I'm moving my site to lunarpages and I signed for a basic hosting account. I'm trying to install joomla direct (not wit fantastico which works really great) and I'm having problems to fill the following info:

Host Name (my shared domain is rdmp.myonlineplace.org but don't know if is localhost as joomla instructions says)
MySQL User Name (don't find the place to configure mysql)
MySQL Password (don't find the place to configure mysql)
MySQL Database Name

Hope you can help me.

You can create the database in Cpanel under Mysql. Also create a db user and add that user to the database. Then the settings will be:

Host Name: localhost
MySQL User Name: exactly as seen under Mysql (cpanel username is appended to the name)
MySQL Password: whatever password you gave the db user
MySQL Database Name: exactly as seen under Mysql (cpanel username is appended to the name)
