   define('DB_NAME', 'dbnameiscorrect');
   define('DB_USER', 'useriscorrect');
   define('DB_PASSWORD', 'passiscorrect');
   define('DB_HOST', 'remote.server.net');

   all settings are known to be correct, but drilling into remote server causes DB failure message ALWAYS. I KNOW all the information is correct. Can I not use a remote hostname in DB_HOST?

   Thanks

   I never had any luck doing so. I found in fact that WP practically always failed in a large variety of ways using subdomain setups.

   Yep. I couldn't find any fix, and my host (normally pearls of great price in the support end of things) wasn't able to figure out how to do it either.

   Which was why I ventured into a reseller deal in the first place: it was way cheaper than separately hosting half a dozen or more domains.... and now I have clients hosted under my reseller plan as well so my domains tend to be more or less free....
