Re: New developer; Cake is NOT able to connect to the database.

It'll be the username and password for the database, not the computer. By default, the username is probably 'root' and a blank password. If it's not, yo'll need to find out what credentials are need to access that database.

I am going through the blog tut on: http://book.cakephp.org/view/1528/Blog
and for some reason the database isn't connecting. From what i can
tell there is a problem connecting over the local host server. I am
using wamp for my web server but only connecting over localhost. And
suggestions?

class DATABASE_CONFIG {

var $default = array(
'driver' => 'mysql',
'persistent' => 'false',
'host' => 'localhost',
'port' => '',
'login' => 'User',
'password' => 'SuperSecretPass',
'database' => 'cakeblog_dtd',
);
