Database server hostname on Subdomains

Is the server hostname still localhost on subdomains? I'm trying to install IScript and it keeps telling me to verify my database details. Database name and username are pretty straightforward so I'm thinking my problem has to be the server hostname.

Hello Spittingimages,

Thank you for your question on hostname configuration for subdomains. As long as the database is on the same server, you can use 'localhost' as the hostname. This applies to all domains, addon domains, and subdomains.

If you are having issues with database settings, check again and be sure there are no transposed characters or extra spaces, those are usually the issue.

Kindest Regards,
