I'm using godaddy for my hosting except that any resources i find with regards to database servers (host), Name, Username, Password etc are all outdated. I'm using wordpress. I can't complete the installation without knowing what goes where. Do you guys have any better documentation or resources that cover how to get database information? Thanks.

With WordPress, all that information is available in the wp-config.php file.

I think it's not accepting my DB_HOST.
Don't know if I should post it publicly but it goes as topt2979848325.db.2979848.hostedresource.com:3313
Is the 127.0.0.1 supposed to stay there? I've tried several variations.
My DB_USER and DB_NAME are both the same and I'm pretty certain the password is correct.
Hosting company is Godaddy.
Any ideas? I can't figure out what I'm missing or am doing wrong.
