   Please can anyone help me?

   I am trying to set it up wordpress urgently but its not working.

   The information I have is on my server is Nickname, URL, password, Server (which is the domain name plus co.uk - is this an unusual format?) & username (a number preceeded by the letter u - is this an unusual format?). Where would these fit within the below?

   // ** MySQL settings - You can get this info from your web host ** //
   /** The name of the database for WordPress */
   define('DB_NAME', 'putyourdbnamehere');

   /** MySQL database username */
   define('DB_USER', 'usernamehere');

   /** MySQL database password */
   define('DB_PASSWORD', 'yourpasswordhere');

   /** MySQL hostname */
   define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');

   /** Database Charset to use in creating database tables. */
   define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8');

   /** The Database Collate type. Don't change this if in doubt. */
   define('DB_COLLATE', '');

   db_host is not always localhost. I know with GoDaddy they have seperate MySQL servers. So does DreamHost. Try the IP or address of the actual MySQL server. Maybe mysql.yourdomain.co.uk
