It varies, but as a guess, use "localhost" - this is the default name
of the SQL server in most environments and many shared hosting
environments.

I'm attempting to install MediaWiki on a sub
domain of my website, as in:
http://wikifilm.riddleplayersproductions.com
On the installation screen, I've got everything else down properly, at
least nothing is giving me an error message still, except for the
MySQL server. I thought it was simply just typing the server that the
database was on, as in
riddleplayersproductions.com or
wikifilm.riddleplayersproductions.com, but apparently this is not so.
It's giving me the error message of,"Couldn't connect to database
(2005)"
What am I suppose to enter for this field?
Many thanks,
Brian
