i’m using yahoo web hosting. i need to connect to MySQL, which they support along PHP, using a third party application. it asks for:
host/server name (or IP):
username:
password:
i have emailed yahoo and i am sure they may reply (not sure when though). Butr just couldnt wait.
Does anyone know how to find out the above? thanks a lot.
candle, that was very kind of you. Well, i have done just that. What you said is just what i had done. But I keep getting the error message that it couldn’t recognize or resolve host mysql. Bad luck, huh?:-)
aha "You may not be willing and able to access your database using a desktop client or other tools run outside of Yahoo!" too bad.
hi rina, yes i did create the database which i can access with no problems. I am, however, using an aplication called PHPRunner which i wished to try. Yahoo couldnt allow me to connect. I can merely connect from within the website. Odd, huh?

Did you create a mysql database in your control panel ? try using the database server name , try to create a database you will find out the name of the database.

For Yahoo! the host/server name is "mysql" (without the quotes). Many PHP scripts will automatically put "localhost" as the hostname, so make sure to change it to "mysql."
Then follow these steps:
1. On the Create & Update or Index tabs of your Web Hosting Control Panel, click the "MySQL Database" link.
2. Select the "Create User Name and Password Now" link.
3. Before you set up your MySQL database, you must read and agree to the software license. Click "I Agree to These Terms."
4. Enter a database administrator user name and password. Note: Choose a user name carefully, as you will not be able to change it later. Be sure to make a note of your user name and password; you’ll need this information when you set up a tool that uses your database.
5. Click "Submit."
