    old DBS name is “shop”
    new name is “rotapixt_shop”
  • Server (local host if it is on the same server, else the address (EG: http://cpanel.something.com)
    it’s possible to install the HTML files on one FTP account server, and install the database on a different server….
  • Database user username:  (hosting account username/ password login)
  • Database user password

In website hosting – you have an account username and password, this is the same for :

  • FTP account
