I am using a program call php generator for mysql and it asks for the connection piece the host name, user name, password, database name. It uses port 3306. I have read and re-read the posts and instructions including whitelisting my isp into the accepted lists. I have the same errors no matter what I've tried. I know localhost works since I have another script running that uses that as the host. This is a wizard that wants to use a remote connection and will not go past step one until it can connect.

Maybe I need to use another script.

Help if anyone know the answer.

The host name will be localhost except if you are trying to connect from your own computer in which case it will be your domain name.

The username will be your 8 character account identifier followed by an underscore followed by the user name you created to use.

The password will be whatever password you set for the user name.

The database name will be your 8 character account identifier followed by an underscore followed by the name you gave the database.
