Issue status update for http://drupal.org/node/11645 Project: Drupal Version: cvs Component: base system Category: feature requests Priority: normal Assigned to: Chris Johnson Reported by: Uwe Hermann Updated by: Bèr Kessels Status: patch Attachment: http://drupal.org/files/issues/db_hostname.patch (550 bytes) +1 from me. This very small change makes it very clear that we do not want the hostname of the server, but of the database. One small question: in drupal we use underscores to mark words everywhere (functions, variables, modules, themes etc.) so can you use db_hostname? Attached patch does that. Bèr Kessels Previous comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ October 16, 2004 - 14:11 : Uwe Hermann As seen here [1] it's not so obvious what to fill into the $dburl line in include/conf.php. My suggestion to clarify this a bit: Replace # $db_url = "mysql://user:password@hostname/database"; with # $db_url = "mysql://dbuser:dbpassword@dbhostname/database"; This should make it a little clearer that the database user, password and host is meant. The same should be done with the PostgreSQL line...
