Ok first off I cant see all the forums and I am now a customer so I will just post my question here.

I am trying to install vBulletin.

Quote:

$config['MasterServer']['servername'] This sets the address of your database server. On most installations the database server is located on the same computer as the web server, in which case the address should be set to 'localhost', otherwise use the address of the database server as supplied by your web host.

Should I set it to local host or is there something I need to change.

(I still cant use Live Chat, I think it is something wrong with Opera, I will to install a different browser and try it.)

Wait, do I just use the IP you sent me?

You would use localhost for the MySQL host.

I've come across another quirery now.

"If you are using PHP5 in combination with MySQL 4.1.x you may want to change this variable to 'mysqli' to take advantage of the MySQL Improved engine"

Does HostGator have this?

Doesn't matter, I have got the answer.
