I’m working on a web site with joomla 1.5, so to import the data base I need phpMyAdmin but unfortunately I have just the ftp account on server e.g (ftp.eXXXX.com). I upload phpMyAdmin to my ftp and I did this config :
and about the host in the configuration I try :www.mywebsite.com
http://ftp.eXXXX.com
but I got this :
#2005 - Unknown MySQL server host 'http://www.mywebsite.com' (1)
How can I host the database ??

Usually putting value ‘localhost’ or ‘127.0.0.1’ (which is better in any case I guess) works fine, but if your server provide access to DB physically on another host, it usually gives you the address in your admin panel (like cPanel) and you put that value inside the [‘host’] = ‘…’; also you might need to put $cfg[‘Servers’][$i][‘connect_type’] = ‘socket’; in that case
