Hi Shell,

On most linux servers the host value will be 127.0.0.1 or localhost Normally either will work, simply tells the script to look at the local server for the DB.

With regards to the DB Please remember on a linux/cpanel server to add your account username to the DBname and DB username. Eg if my accounts cpanel login was "account" and my DBname was "bob" then for a script the DBname will be "account_bob" Like wise if I have user "bill" added to my DB "bob" the username will be "account_bill"
