Hi All,

Now going to install and it comes to this

Now I did read somewhere about not setting chmod's to 777 but I had already done that and now I can't change them back. Was wondering if this is an issue with other users.

BTW I use cpanel

who is your hosting btw?

Hi anon,
My hosting is thru HostGator.

I must admit, I wish I could get into support, it's been a few hours now, as I've decided just to go ahead with it anyway and these q's about database server, database name are beyond me. Are you supposed to just make them up?

How do I find out the IP adress of my database server?
