step 3 of PowerCMS installation question

I am stuck at step 3 of the Power CMS instalation because i am not quit sure what to do here. Where do i find the server name and the database? I am assuming it is the localhost one i set up from xampp earlier? Or is this a whole new database that i need to set up through a remote source like my hosting provider?

Please help im using xampp and just doing a test site builder and see how it works with PowerCMS, what do i put in for server and database?
I actually know my user and password just need server and database information.
Thanks!

If you are installing the CMS on your local testing server, then use the local database. The host would be:
localhost

and the database would be the one you set up in phpMyAdmin on the local MySQL server in xampp.

Ok that was what i figured
But how exactly do i enter that into the field because it wasnt working for me

for example would it be

server: localhost

database: blue_sky_music i did just that and it wasnt wanting work

or do i have to put in file path? like http://localhost/phpmyadmin/blue_sky_music?

does this look like the right url i should type in to get to the CMS part of my site directly after finish site sculptor?

file:///C:/xampp/htdocs/dynamic_site/

all that did was take me to the attached page and not the content manager but i did site sculptor a couple times which may a messed something up, will try to just restart the process and try again.

You can disregaurd that i figured it out.

I am having little problems with my live site though,
Says: Undefined variable: tagName in C:\xampp\htdocs\dynamic_site\webassist\framework\framework.php on line 177

Any ideas?

This is just a test site to try figure it all out so not a huge issue but if you know id like to hear.

THanks
