 * I have to go into wp_config and change
    /** MySQL hostname */ //define(‘DB_HOST’,‘
   localhost:3306’); //define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘localhost’); define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘192.168.2.4’);
   this IP address so I can get into my website. It won’t connect with localhost
 * tonite it would not let me in even though I did this. Anybody got any ideas.
 * I’m using a Mac with Mamp

 * lilyvine,
 * DB_HOST should be localhost for MAMP. For more information check this article:
