CMS Made Simple Forums

hello guys
i am installing ms cms on my localhost apache server and STEP 5 is giving me very hard time with its requirements.

Database host address-
Database name  -
Username  -
Password -

could anybody tell me default values for those requirements so i can pass this step 5 wich bothers me. i dont know exact values i shoul put in

thx a lot guys

check with your hosting company

just to be clear and helpful, by localhost you mean your computer, right? What program are you using? XAMPP? That program is the one that will give you the answers. Look for a control panel, mySQL control, phpMyAdmin, Admin section, etc. For XAMPP, address is localhost, database name is the name of the database that you create manually first, username by default is root, and password is by default blank.

Meanwhile, a small search effort would reveal a page like this: http://wiki.cmsmadesimple.org/index.php/User_Handbook/Installation/Quick_Install/Install_on_Local_Windows_PC

Hmmmm, at a quick guess ...

Database host address = http://localhost
Database name  = only you know this one
Username = root
Password = to access MySQL etc most probably it's blank/empty, but for CMSMS it will be what you designated/chose during install
