- This will be something you'll need to ask your web host, as it'll be the IP address your domain name is sitting on.

Database username: " shall i put a "db_"

- I'd suggest something a little harder to guess. If you have the option, try for something with both upper and lowercase letters and a few numbers (no real words)

Database password: ********

- Same as above.. the harder to guess the better.

Database name: what it's name ??

- The database name will be whatever you give it when it's set up (or have it set up by your web host).

I haven't the foggiest how Yahoo sets up their accounts, or their control panel, but your best bet will be to ask them, or check their support area.

Database server hostname / IP address: localhost

This will work 80% of the time.
