    When I try to set up wordpress
   its giving me this issue. I Set up the mySQL databse last night and im not sure
   why it is having errors. Screenshot: [http://gyazo.com/0af18b2d9ac3ec1503324113a7ac6e04](http://gyazo.com/0af18b2d9ac3ec1503324113a7ac6e04)
   Im new to setting up wordpress so im not sure what I could be doing wrong…
 * I don’t know my database host name so I just used localhost so this could be 
   the issue… Where can I find my database host name? I am hosting off of my companies
   reliable hosting server.
    Please help!

 * It says “Create a database for WordPress on your web server, as well as a MySQL
   user who has all privileges for accessing and modifying it.”
    I created a MySQL
   user but I don’t know what it means by create a database for wordpress? I can
   usually install wordpress with ease.
