Sometimes you will need to know the database details for your Joomla 2.5 installation in order to run the necessarily queries on the right database.
These details are listed in the configuration.php file located under your Joomla installation's root directory. You can open the file through cPanel -> File Manager. Look for the following lines that contain the name of the database user added to the database, the corresponding password and the name of the database:
public $user = 'USERNAME';
public $password = 'PASSWORD';
public $db = 'DATABASE_NAME';
Once you know which database your web site uses you can manage it through cPanel -> phpMyAdmin.
Joomla is a powerful software that is easy to work with once you have the right host to support you. Before you lose any more time with the wrong host, check out the hostlantern Joomla hosting offer.
