The Database Settings page enables you to set the information needed to connect to the database. The administrator is required to fill and save the fields described below:

Lets you enter your database host name or address. In most common server configuration the value you enter is "localhost". Some servers do require that you use another address. You can enter a domain name or IP address in this field. If you are unsure of what to enter contact your hosting company to request this information.
Lets you fill in the username needed to access the database. If you are unsure of what to enter contact your hosting company to request this information.
Allows you to fill in the password for the above username. If you are unsure of what to enter contact your hosting company for this information.
Enables you to enter your database name. Enter an existing database name or a new name in case you want to rename the database. Note that if the user does not have proper permissions to create a database the installer will output an error message stating so. You will then need to manually create the database yourself.
