Where can I find my local host?

Question

You're probably thing about how blonde this question is.

I'm trying to install phpfan on my server/mySQL database so when I go to configure one of the files it asks for my local host. At first I'm thinking of my comp's IP address then the number address to my server.


if(strcmp(basename($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']),basename(__FILE__)) === 0)
{
exit('Forbidden!');
}

$host = 'localhost'; // Most likely is localhost
$dbname = ''; // (blank)
$user = ''; // (blank)
$dbpassword = ''; // (blank)

// Database tables.

$prefix = 'phpfantest';

// Wordpress integration.

// require_once('/path/to/your/wp-config.php');

// DO NOT EDIT ANYTHING BELOW THIS LINE!

$includepath = dirname(__FILE__);

?>

I really have no idea what I change on this script :/ I don't know too much about this PHP stuff.. please help!
Thanks!

YOU'RE PROBABLY THINKING! XDDD Sorry bout the typo.

Answer 1

Localhost is simply the machine that the script is running on. For the IP version of localhost it's "127.0.0.1", and the DNS version of it is "localhost". Hope this helped.

Answer 2

Most webhosting companies use localhost for localhost, try that if it doesn't work, then hoping you have phpadmin or when you list the database you should see the local host information listed on the page. Let me know if you need any specifi help. I can help ya and offcourse not for $$$ :-)

Answer 3

localhost is the computer where you install your program ....
So the IP Address is 127.0.0.1 ...
If you open your browser (Internet Explorer or Firefox) ...
and type http://localhost .... and than show some page which is interesting than you must have web server ...

in Windows the localhost is put in directory c:\Inetpub\wwww if you are using IIS ....
so just copy your wordpress directory to c:\inetpub\www

If you want to installl

you must be sure have create database in mysql ...(you must know your (username and password to open it)
for example to create database with this ....
create database wordpress;

just type in IE
http://localhost/wordpress/wp-admin

and fill your username , password anda database ....
