Your info helped me so much. It caused me to do more research and this is what I found:
Configuration Settings:
Use the following configuration settings for connecting to your database
Host name = (use the server IP address)
Database name = (cpanelUsername_databaseName)
Database username = (cpanelUsername_databaseUsername)
Database password = (the password you entered for that database user)
MySQL Connection Port = 3306
TCP or UDP, either is fine.
