zomgguyHey guys,
I'm a young student who is interested in Wordpress and just started attempting to learn how to use it but unfortunately I just can't. I'm trying to set up a test wordpress blog which I won't really use.
I did everything right (at least I think so) until the bit where I have to run the install script. So I went to the install script and it told me that it had an error establishing the database connection. Because this is just a test wordpress blog, I am using a free web host with a free subdomain name. I am using 000webhost. I made an SQL database with the name "a1277650_blog" and with the username of "a1277650_user". I changed the database host in wp-config to "mysql3.000webhost.com" because 000webhost said that it was it's database host.
This is my PHP script:
define('DB_NAME', 'a1277650_blog');
define('DB_USER', 'a1277650_user');
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'iwantmesos1');
define('DB_HOST', 'mysql3.000webhost.com');
define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8');
define('DB_COLLATE', '');
define('SECRET_KEY', 'cvkf02520ctv75y2520457ctvy');I really am pretty noobish at this stuff. I have no prior knowledge of web developing or databases or all this web stuff. I am a middle school student.
