    Firstly, why on earth are you installing V1.2.x ????

    As for your problem, as a general rule the database host is normally set to be 'localhost'. One of the rare exceptions to this is if you are hosted with godaddy.

    That's the DNS server, not the database host. Who told you to use that? Hopefully, it wasn't your host.

    Must assign the user to the database with all permissions.

    In cPanel, when you add the user to the database, you must assign ALL permissions.
