Installation Help

Unable to connect to database error

Permalink April 03, 2014 at 8:09 PM

Hi,
I am trying to install concret5 on my site to a subfolder called "autotest" as a test. I followed the steps, created a new database, etc. but I get a message " Unable to connect to database." I am not sure what to put in the "server" field. Is that supposed to be my domain name?
Thank you for the help
Ric

Try 'localhost' first.

To check server name , go to phpmyadmin, here you will see the server name like localhost or something else.
