Thanx

Its teh same as your vb.

[steve3402000]

or the ftp type information? I tried using the url and the ftp type information it said couldent open database

DB Error: Could not connect to the database server (ftp.aircraftmechanic.org, steve3402000@aircraftmechanic.org).

[Reeve of shinra]

no, not the ftp info. Look at the settings in your config.php file (site.com/includes/config.php)

gotcha thanx man

Database server hostname is giving me trouble, its saying its HOST:PORT 3306

OR is it mysql
