• So I’ve just gotten into wordpress. I downloaded it some hours ago and now I’m trying to set it all up. When filling out the database, username and pw settings in my wp-config.php, something went wrong.

    “Error establishing a database connection”

    My question is, what DB name should I use? Can I use ‘wordpress’ and my username/pw I got from this site? Or do I have to use some other host of mine?

    I tried to use ‘wordpress’ and my name ‘oyvindronning’ and the pw I got via mail from WP. But I got that error.

    I also tried using my other host (medieklassen), but it wouldn’t work. I was wondering.. would ‘medieklassen’ work, or do I have to write like ‘http://medieklassen.com’, ‘ftp.medieklassen.com’ or something?

    I found it confusing and if anyone could help me out that would be great. Thanks:)

  • You need to setup a database with your host. The information that you use to login here has nothing to do with a site hosted elsewhere and is complete seperate.

    Best bet would be to contact your host for assistance since they would know the procedure to do this. All we can do is guess since we don’t have any of your account information.
