Ok, heres the thing. I have hosting with company A. I want to use their sql database on company B's hosting. when setting up the config.php files for vbulletin it asks for my database hostname. How can I find this out?
I have a previously installed vbulletin on the company A, in hopes that somewhere I could locate this actual hostname. Right now I have it setup as 'localhost' since it is on their site, however I want to use the hosting from B and the DB from A.

A uses cpanel, and the database, username and password have been created. The user has also been added to the DB.
Any way I can find this

Hostname in the case of a remote host is the ip of the mysql server.

yea. . .the issue i was having was cpanel restricts access to the sql db
just needed to throw a wildcard in there.


thnx tho. . .you can close this thread if you would like
