Hey guys

I,m having a problem with installing hotaru on my webspace at 000webhost.com, I created a my sql data base from the user cp and I went to install hotaru but I keep getting "Data base doesn't exist or connection setting are wrong" errors. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong and I can't fully understand what the heck I'm suppossed to use for the base url, Do I put my site address or the full path to where hotaru is located? My mysql cp is limited in making data bases since I can make a data base and a user with password but nothing else and phpmyaccount has me puzzled since I think I need to do something in there but I'm not sure if I need to or not.
Can someone help me?

156215631564I double checked all the settings and made sure the base url pointed to the hotaru folder but no luck. My server has all my stuff in a pulic html folder and I don't know if that is the problem. I included three screen shots Tow are of the error pages durring hotaru set up and the third is of the file mannager cp of my 000webhost account, something isn't set right and I have no clue what is going on. These are my sql db settings except the pass word

$mysql_host = "mysql10.000webhost.com";
$mysql_database = "a6082762_hotaru";
$mysql_user = "a6082762_admin";
$mysql_password = "123456623512";

What am I doing wrong? The file I uploaded hotaru_settings.php is the version that came in the package and all I did was rename the file as the instructions said.

Your database prefix is not hotaru_

Your database prefix appears to be a6082762_

Try that and see if it works.

If that doesn't work, you can also try changing your prefix to a6082762_, and changing your host to localhost

Ok I'll try that instead and see if it works

Well I gave it a shot and nothing changed, Local host gives me a Hotaru+settings was created and using mysql host does nothing and I tried the prefix and that didn't work either sitll getting the dadat base doesn't exist or connection settings is wrong message.
