title: How do I connect Dreamweaver to a MySQL database on 1and1?
body: <p>I am hosting a site on <strong>1and1</strong>, and having trouble connecting to a <code>MySQL database</code>.<br>
  I am very new to <code>MySQL</code> and <code>PHP</code>, so I'm not sure I did this right.</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Under my domain, 
  <ul>
  <li>choose Web Space>MySQL Administration</li>
  <li>(get taken to PHPMyAdmin)</li>
  </ul></li>
  <li>New Database</li>
  <li>Once DB has finished setup, 
  <ul>
  <li>use "host", "username" and "password" given by 1and1 to connect Dreamweaver.  </li>
  </ul></li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>I tried doing this, but <code>Dreamweaver</code> gives me an "<code>Unknown error</code>", which doesn't help at all, as it doesn't even give an error *code.  </p>
