Hi all...I tried to install a comments script from here... Anyway I have FTP'd the files accross and changed the files permissions so I can install it.... Anyway when I go to the admin area of the script (here take a look) I try to install the script and I have set up the database and inputted the correct details and it doesn't work...It says "cannot access database" Can someone please explain where I find the info for this page within cPanel! Also the database is called comments and the username for cpanel is atcorest do this mean the database name will be atcorest_comment? And the username for the database is admin so will the username for the installation be atcorest_admin? Also I am not sure what to put as the host name! Please can someone assist me with this? Thanks Robert

Database and username should have the atcorest_ prefix, if it's on a shared environment. If you've created a new user for the database, make sure you've given it enough privileges.
