Hello,
I've been looking up for a problem of my kind, but I haven't foung anything simillar. I'd be happy somebody helped me.

I'm installing a gallery 1.4 to a webhost, where MySQL host is called 'mysql' instead of 'localhost'. However the system somehow doesn't take it and is trying to connect to '<mysql_account>'@'193.86.238.13' (with password YES). I get of course this error message:

Coppermine critical error:
Unable to connect to database !

Problem is: IP 193.86.238.13 address is remote adress to a http server of that webhosting service. I wonder, why it doesn't open connection like  '<mysql_account>'@'mysql'.

Thanks for every hint!
