[SOLVED] Installing on Host Monster manually wihtout using SimpleScripts

I want to install MODx on HostMonster manually without using their SimpleScripts.
I’ve tried every possible combination. I’ve searched the MODx forums. I’ve searched the Wiki. I found a couple postings, but nothing that indicates what I enter in for the Database Host name.

Any ideas?

Database host: localhost
Database login name: how2adm
Database password: password

Database host: host116 (server name)
Database login name: how2adm
Database password: password

Database host: 74.220.207.XXX (server IP)
Database login name: how2adm
Database password: password

Database host: databaseName
Database login name: how2adm
Database password: password

all of the above result in "Connection to host: failed!"
Note - I did create the database and the user ID and password on my host via the Control panel. I viewed the DB via PHPMyAdmin.

The answer was:

Database host: localhost
Database login name: topdomain_how2adm
Database password: password

Dear Scotte68,

I have used Host Monster for a couple of years with satisfaction. I’m a newbie at MODx. I am prototyping a new site using MODx Evolution 1.0.2 on a Windows XP Pro-64 system running the WAMPserver 2.0 stack. All works well locally.

Eventually I plan to move this MODx site to Host Monster. Your post raises a flag for me: WHY did you want to install manually on Host Monster rather than use Host Monster’s SimpleScripts MODx installation? And how has that worked out for you? Are there any Host-Monster-specific issues I should understand?

Thanks!
