Server drops connection (2 posts)

    I've been trying to install WordPress 2.6.2.

    I've created a database and a user and set the permissions and updated the wp-config.php file to reflect the database and user and password and all that. Whenever i try to run the install.php file, i get the following error:

    Can’t open the page “http://ggny.com/wordpress/wp-admin/install.php” because the server unexpectedly dropped the connection, which sometimes occurs when the server is busy. You might be able to open the page later.

    i've reloaded the page many times over the course of a few hours and still get that error. Also, if i go into the config file and purposely switch the database nae to something i know is wrong i get:

    "We were able to connect to the database server (which means your username and password is okay) but not able to select the wrongName database."

    So obviously the user and password are working. But if I change the name back to what it should be, i get the "Can't Open... " error again.

    Any thoughts?

    You really need to show that to your host and explain it is persistent and for how long it has been so.
