Linking Database.. and getting admin and catalog to show up

[miko]

where do i specify the connection to database

1.  define('DB_SERVER', 'exchange');
2.  define('DB_SERVER_USERNAME', 'regal');
3.  define('DB_SERVER_PASSWORD', '-----);
4.  define('DB_DATABASE', 'catalog'');
5.  define('USE_PCONNECT', 1);

I am thinking it is in line 1 of the code..the DB_SERVER.. what is that supposed to be if i am just hosting it locally?

Next, when i open up the admin page. it displays but with these errors above the page..

Warning: Failed opening '//catalog/includes/data/rates.php' for inclusion (include_path='.;C:/phpdev/php/includes;C:/phpdev/php/class') in c:\phpdev\www\admin\includes\include_once.php on line 4

Warning: Failed opening 'includes/languages/english/' for inclusion (include_path='.;C:/phpdev/php/includes;C:/phpdev/php/class') in c:\phpdev\www\admin\includes\include_once.php on line 4

I checked that file include_once.php

1.   <?
2.       if (!defined($include_file . '__')) {
3.       define($include_file . '__', 1);
4.	    include($include_file);
5.       }
6.   ?>

So I think the problem is probably in the application_top.php

So anyone have some wise words for me.. i am really learning quickly!

Hi,

Your db server is called "localhost" usually.

Don't know about the other.
