This would usually be "yourdomain.com" or "subdomain.yourdomain.com"

Is the database running? Can you connect to it manually?

Is the database server the same box as the web server? If it is, what happens if you leave it as 'localhost'?

I will assume that you are trying to use mysql. If you have phpmyadmin it might be easier for you to set things up and become familiar with things.
