installing phpMyFAQ

[alexmak]

Hi. I'm trying to install phpMyFAQ on my account - I've created a database for that and a user. When I specify in the installation menu SQL server host 69.89.31.59 (the host with my files) with SQL username/password, I get the following error message:
The error message of the database server:
Access denied for user 'alexmakn_faq1'@'box259.bluehost.com' (using password: YES)

Either I'm specifying the wrong host or there are some tricks in doing that. Any help with accessing DB?

Unless you are trying to access the database remotely (and have asked support to turn on remote access) the host name to use is "localhost".

Yes, "localhost" worked! Thanks a lot!
