When setting up Drupal, it is recommended to use the built in tools to set your DB connection string.

However, if that string must be edited by hand, use the following format in your settings.php file.

mysql://{user}:{pass}@{core server}/{database}

If you are unaware of where to find your MySQL compatible DB information, please log into cPanel and visit Databases > MySQL Databases.

At this time, the current “core” server name is: s581.use6.mysecurecloudhost.com
