I recently transferred a moded phpbb site to Hostmonster. Mysql database was successfully transferred as well. I need to know the correct config info for my forum:

<?php


// phpBB 2.x auto-generated config file
// Do not change anything in this file!

$dbms = 'mysql';

$dbhost = 'l******';
$dbname = '******';
$dbuser = '******';
$dbpasswd = '******';

$table_prefix = 'phpbb_';

define('PHPBB_INSTALLED', true);

?>

What is the $dbhost -"localhost" ?
My mysql $dbname is a portion of my domain name like *******_(30), do I use the (30) or not?
I added a username and password in cpanel with full access.

I can't access the dbase - any thoughts?

The $dbhost should be local host.

Get the $dbname and $dbuser from the Mysql database section of your cpanel. All the databases and usernames are there. Just cut and paste.

Lastly, do not forget to add the user to the the database. If you forget that, I don't think you can access it.
