You have an existing website with that has user registrations, and you are wanting to create a blog, that uses the existing user registration data?

Posted 2 months ago #The company providing the database should be able to give you an address to connect to the database.
You might be given a link like those shown here such as MediaTemple Gridserver or Rackspace Cloud.

Posted 2 months ago #The company providing the database is me. :) I have the IP address, just don't know how to configure wp-config properly. getting 'Error establishing...'
I currently have:
define('DB_HOST', 'mysqlhost', '###.###.##.###');
and have added the 'incoming' domain to the list in Remote mySQL in cPanel. I have it as 'www.thesite.ca' (where the files are hosted), and I'm wondering if I have to specify the IP instead, or the http://ftp.thesite.com address.

Posted 2 months ago #Change your DB_HOST setting in wp-config.php to this format:
define('DB_HOST', '###.###.##.###');This might be one issue, as for the database server, maybe you need to provide the server IP for the incoming domain on the mySQL server.

Posted 2 months ago #Are these two servers hosted on the same network? Maybe try their respective local IP addresses.
If this doesn't work, I'm all out of ideas.
