This is what I use to connect my database:

local user = "xXMADEXx" 
local pass = "" 
local host = "127.0.0.1" 
local db = "" 
db = dbConnect ( "mysql", "host="..host..";dbname="..db , user, pass ) 

If it dosn't work then its the MySQL host...

If it dosn't work then its the MySQL host...

user,pass is about the the phpmyadmin login information ?
