OK I am new to all this:  SQL Database, phpminadmin, etc so please bear with me.  When downloading phpminiadmin, it says copy to my account.  I gusess I need to know what this actually means.  Where do I copy?  Sorry if a dumb question but I am sure I'll have a few more.

just upload it to your account use ftp or file manager.

Thanks  I got it uploaded.    Stay tuned for more questions.

I was just about to answer...thought better make coffee...came back to see you changed your post....but I will answer anyway, for those that don't get it.

When they say your 'account' they don't mean your 'account' as such. This is misleading for newbies like me and for wysiwyg dumbies...like me. They mean your file mangement area, where you edit your index (home) page. You add the phpminiadmin to a new file in that area.

To answer your deleted question. Your file transfer protocol (ftp) name is ftp.[yourname].110mb.com and the password should be your login password.

Thank you!  Now, another question......I have it there, but there is no "Apply" button to submit the info.  Plus, what exactly is the purpose of MySQLDatabase in relation to just files for the webpage?

I am a self-taught person so the next steps are all new to me.

Thanks again for everyone's patience.

That's EXACTLY where I'm up to as well buddy....sorry I don't have any answers but am putting this message to get your post back to the top. 

I'm seeing this box as well, without all the writing and sht, it's got everything apart from the line below "charset"...it's missing "apply, cancel and cookie"....



ABOVE it, it has:

Cannot connect to the database because: Access denied for user 'vhostswww'@'localhost' (using password: NO)

what i did is open the file with wordpad before uploading..

there's fields for ur db username, password, default db, etc.. i fill them in before uploading the file and i can access it without going thru the settings page..

I can't speak for rich, but cheers, I'll give that a nudge.

I'm sort of in the same boat. I tried a few different ways to get it into my "account", but all I see is code. I don't know what the code is...HTML, php..?? I am a real wysiwyg man. I don't even get the box for entering details...just code.

To answer what use the database is...I don't know. I searched the internet to find out and after a dozen or so sites, all offerring to explain it in basic terms, I gave up. They all say much the same thing, it's a data base...but no one is actually saying what it's use is.

Maybe someone here could explain. I mean in real basic terms. There are quite a lot of people here that are very clever with this sort of stuff.

To dng:  I assume you mean this part of the file (below).

#DEFAULT db connection settings
 $DB=array(
 'user'=>"",#required
 'pwd'=>"", #required
 'db'=>"",  #default DB, optional
 'host'=>"",#optional
 'port'=>"",#optional
 'chset'=>"",#default charset, optional

The fill-in information is between the "" or to replace #required, etc.
Thanks again!

Sample data for your help
#DEFAULT db connection settings
 $DB=array(
 'user'=>"yourusername",#required
 'pwd'=>"yourpassward", #required
 'db'=>"yourdbname",  #default DB, optional
 'host'=>"localhost",#optional
 'port'=>"",#optional
 'chset'=>"",#default charset, optional

Sample data for your help
#DEFAULT db connection settings
 $DB=array(
 'user'=>"yourusername",#required          // this info you get from your MySQL database//
 'pwd'=>"yourpassward", #required           // this info you get from your MySQL database//
 'db'=>"yourdbname",  #default DB, optional    // this info you get from your MySQL database//
 'host'=>"localhost",#optional    // this is OK!//
 'port'=>"21",#optional                                  //Enter 21//
 'chset'=>"",#default charset, optional             //This is OK!//

You are getting better!!

This yourusername & yourpassward &  yourdbname  you have to create in your MySQL database section in your file Manager! As in my image!

Thanks for rectifying me mario
but one thing is it neccesary to specify port 21 coz i saw it some where that its optional
