Correct the mysql settings
The php has been resolved.
Hello.You should know, or find out, the database connection settings on the hosting and you should specify them here.
Because of the PHP ... you have to log into your hoster account and set the PHP version to at least PHP 7.4. It is currently discontinued 5.6.

Aleksej et al,
I am not clear on your example. On the instructions, it says 'localhost' is often used. Is that sufficient? The Host provider seemed puzzled to what I was asking.
in #2, there are no instructions. What should I put in there? Same thing, the Host provider does not know what I was asking.
I am fine with the database name, user and pw.
Thanks
Hello Sam,
When you are using a Databse locally, localhost is good to define the server name.
But when you have exported your project to the provider, generally localhost does not works to the web hosting... So you need to put here the IP address of your database hosted by your provider (Your database could be on other system than yours web ...) and loclahost in any case does not works often.
In the directory field put something like that:
mydomain.com/my_directory
And you needdto create my_directory under your project directory to the hosting machine.
This directory needs to be set with read/write rights.
Hope this helps
Enjoy!
