Error installing on 000webhost using Filezilla
-
Hi there. As a novice to WordPress, I’m hoping to get some help in intalling.
I have a 000webhost.com account
FTP Settings are as follows:
» Account Information
Domain personaldestinytv.comli.com
Username a9788422
Password * hidden * (show)
Disk Usage 0 / 1500.0 MB
Bandwidth 100000 MB (100GB)
Home Root /home/a9788422
Server Name server23.000webhost.com
IP Address 216.108.235.72
Apache ver. 2.2.10 (Unix)
PHP version 5.2.*
MySQL ver. 5.0.51-community
Activated On 2009-02-11 12:22
Status ActiveUsing FileZilla, successfully linking with the following settings:
host: 216.108.235.72
Server type: FTP
Logontype: Normal
User: a9788422
password: same as aboveTook the following steps:
1. Downloaded WordPress 2.7 to my desktop
2. Unzipped to file named wordpress
3. Modified the wp-config.php file with the following:“
// ** MySQL settings – You can get this info from your web host ** //
/** The name of the database for WordPress */
define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘a9788422_pdtv’);/** MySQL database username */
define(‘DB_USER’, ‘a9788422_pdtvuse’);/** MySQL database password */
define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘*********’);/** MySQL hostname */
define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘localhost’);/** Database Charset to use in creating database tables. */
define(‘DB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8’);/** The Database Collate type. Don’t change this if in doubt. */
define(‘DB_COLLATE’, ”);
“4. Saved the changes
5. Started FileZilla
6. Located the WordPress folder with the modified wp-config.php file in the “LOCAL SITE” area of FileZilla and right clicked, selecting “UPLOAD”
7. FileZilla took a couple of minutes while the files were transferred, and completed showing a screen with no errors and no files on queue.WordPress seems to be properly installed.
I then take the following action:
8. Open up Internet Explorer (version 7 running on Vista)
9. type in http://personaldestinytv.comli.com/wordpress/wp-admin/install.php
10. And receive the following error:Error establishing a database connection. etc etc etc.
I can’t figure out what I’m doing wrong. I’ve followed a number of instructions and deleted the account and retried multiple times with no luck.
Funny thing is that I have another wordpress account on the same provider with no problems. Very odd – must be the forest for the trees.
I would appreciate suggestions for correcting.
