Hi guys,
I am trying to set up a forum. I have set up the DB and FTP'd all the files to my web space.
I have accessed thje DB before, but I am using the configuration files this time as supplied by the 'off the shelf' forum software.

$DB = 'mysql'; Depending on your database module, could be 'mysql', 'postgresql' or 'mssql'. Keep 'mysql' for current version of miniBB.
$DBhost='localhost'; Host name for your SQL setup. Most likely 'localhost'.
$DBname='miniBB'; Your SQL database name that you have just created.
$DBusr='USERNAME'; Your SQL username.
$DBpwd='PASSWORD'; Your SQL password.
According to the help manual (the orange section above) is not clear (to me). My DB host specifies that the hostname '$DBhost='localhost';' is in fact $DBhost='mysql'; and the rest is pretty self explanatory, so if you could shed some light on the orange section I would be very grateful.
