qbulla,

What are you trying to do exactly? You need to change the database name, username and password in the wp-config.php file in the root directory of the WordPress installation so the WordPress script can connect to the MySQL database.

Yes you need to enter the

Database name
username
password
host

in wp-config.php. You can read more about this from the following URL:
