   Hi guys,

   I'm having issues trying to install wordpress.

   I would like to have the web server running locally on my computer (XXpc) and the database in a different host (YYserv).

   I created a virtual host for my blog : http://XXpc.blog.my-domain.com

   In wp-config.php I have this :
   define('DB_HOST', 'YYserv.my-domain.com');

   Unfortunately, when I try to reach href="http://XXpc.blog.my-domain.com">http://XXpc.blog.my-domain.com
   I get this :
   

   Error establishing a database connection
   
   This either means that the username and password information in your wp-config.php file is incorrect or we can't contact the database server at localhost. This could mean your host's database server is down.

   NB: It works if I try to reach http://127.0.0.1/blog/ but I don't want that.

   Any ideas ?

   Thanks :)
