Database host address too long to fit in text field

Help with getting the CMS CORE package up and running. This does not include 3rd party modules, PHP scripts, anything downloaded via module manager or from any external source.

Database host address too long to fit in text field

Post by joshrowe »

Filling out the database information for my new site during installation I discovered that my db host address is too long to fit in the text field. The address of the db is:

ca5fbd4054bf849033138e0a0652c87d865d9e59.rackspaceclouddb.com

However when I go to enter it into the installation to connect to the cms database it will only fit:

ca5fbd4054bf849033138e0a0652c87d865d9e59.rackspace

Is there another way to enter the db information where I am not limited to the number of characters I use?

Please help! Thank you in advance

Fill in the ip address of the hostname name during installation:
nslookup ca5fbd4054bf849033138e0a0652c87d865d9e59.rackspaceclouddb.com

Server: google-public-dns-a.google.com
Address: 8.8.8.8

Non-authoritative answer:
Name: ca5fbd4054bf849033138e0a0652c87d865d9e59.rackspaceclouddb.com
Address: 10.188.130.14
After installation change this in the generated config.php file to the proper hostname (and clear cache, just to be sure)
