Create a new db during free trial

Hi all,

In a follow up to my previous post, I'm trying to get my Joomla site restored and tested during the trail period. I was able to navigate to the restore script but the db settings are not correct. I decided to try to create a new db through the panel but the warnings say "domain must be hosted with us". I've only got a few more days to get this working - any ideas?

You can edit the J! config file via FTP or access the database info at:

Panel > Goodies > MySQL Databases > Modify database

Every database needs a hostname. The domain of the hostname must be hosted in DH, otherwise you will get warning saying "domain must be hosted with us".

I believe you've registered a free dreamhosters subdomain. You can try to set the hostname to your free dreamhosters subdomain and it should be fine.
