Database connection

[Mitchell]

I'm trying to make my initial database connection but the installer cannot find the MySQL db. All file permissions are set OK and the db is working (when tested by my ISP)but still no connection.

Keep getting the same message;

Database server was not found. Please verify the login, password, and database server name fields.

Are you sure the server is correct? I'm using Just Host and use localhost as my server. Some hosts may require a server name instead of localhost.

Yes I'm sure the db is working correctly. With my ISP I use the full server name and not localhost. This works with other db applications I run.
