I have an Unlimited.net account and am trying to connect a PHP forms database program to a user's database I created for them. I am wondering if there is some specific naming convention required to do this. I have tried using localhost as the db_hostname but then cannot connect during the install. I've created two different user accounts and neither one can connect. Is there something that I am not adding that is required to identify this database?

MySQL Database Settings

Database Hostname	localhost
Database Name	Forms
DB Username	testing
Database Password	M1n1ngcamp

I get the following error when trying to connect. Both the user name and password I know is correct.

 Access denied for user 'testing'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

I would appreciate any assistance anyone can provide.
 

Thanks. 

Hello,

Check your host summary letter as this will give you the MySQL IP address which is what you will need as the host name.

Cheers,

Mark

I really hope that's not your real login info.  If it is, you should change it immediately!

No it wasn't the real log-in. Just something I used as an example.
