   http://www.lillibridgesite.com/blog/wp-admin/install.php is the link, I used the same db connection info as my other pages. This has been checked over and over. This is hosted by Ipage.com. All WP files moved into directory /blog. Specifically, I get

   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 gordon. This could mean your host's database server is down.

   Are you sure you have the correct username and password?
   Are you sure that you have typed the correct hostname?
   Are you sure that the database server is running?

   If you're unsure what these terms mean you should probably contact your host. If you still need help you can always visit the WordPress Support Forums.

   Internal Server Error

   The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

   Please contact the server administrator, cgiadmin@yourhostingaccount.com and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

   More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

   There isn't a great deal we can add to that error message. Either your database details are incorrect in wp-config.php or your host's database server is down.

   when I remove the error blocker (@) from the mysql_connect call (wp_db.php line 1819 in db_connect function call) I get the error
   Lost connection to MySQL server at 'reading initial communication packet', system error: 111

   My research on this indicates possibly some sort of remote connection call. Why is this happening and why is it a problem?
