creating databases in mysql

Hi,
I have successfully installed MLM manually but when I try to create a new database by clicking on "new" under
lm/lm.php?cmd=admin&action=showlists
I get an error message
Error - Server problem when reading list. [: ]
Ok
. Several people on the forum have said that the solution to that is to change
$dbhost = 'localhost';
however that does not resolve the issue for me. What else can be done ? My $dbhost = 'mywebsite.com';

What is your mySQL server address? It would be 'localhost' if it is located on the save server as the web server.

Sorry to be a dummy, but I am not sure what you mean by "mySQL server address".

My provider has a whole section of PHPMyAdmin for databases that has the address mysql.mywebsite.com, is that it? But is MLM capable of creating databases within that framework? I didn't get the impression it could.

And I am a intrigued that there is no mention of "mySQL server address" in lm_settings.php. Is it $admin_webAddress or for $dbhost or something else?

It's OK. I've understood. I got it up and running using the parameters of the PHPMyAdmin section of the site, and by putting into lm_settings.php the database name, user name and passwords set up in PHPMyAdmin.
