Robsta Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Those are all details you would have added when you created your mySQL database in your hosting control panel. Database host is usually 'localhost'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest waynerp Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 OK thanks. already created database but nothing about ' table prefix' any ideas what that is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robsta Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Of course. The prefix is added to the table names at installation time so you can have tables grouped specific to an application installation. You can leave it blank if your database is currently empty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
