[support] MySQL problem on Drupal 6

[Vaibhav Jain]

The format will be the same, replace
username by mysql username - usually root
password by mysql password - usually blank
localhost by hostname - usually localhost
databasename by DB name you created - i believe you mentioned foo, so type
the same in here too.

For more you can also refer http://drupal.org/node/126558
