MySQL And Forums

[old.TheOneAndOnlyRy]

I am trying to set up a PHP forum on my site however, the database entries are giving me trouble. I have to:

Change $db_Database to the correct database name
Change $db_UserName to the correct username for your database
Change $db_Password to the correct password for your database
$db_Hostname is usually 'localhost' so you shouldn't touch it.
Save it.

But i have no idea what the hostname, username, database name and database passwords are. Is the user name and password the same as my site's? Is the hostname my URL?

Please help asap.

the password is the same as the one you used when you signed up.

The database name and username should be the ones which you used to sign up aswell..

If its a decent host then the database address might be localhost but don't quote me on that.
