 * Hello,
 * I replaced the code in the wp-config.php file and the .htaccess file with the
   code given to me on the Create a Network of WordPress Sites.
 * When I tried to go to my blof site I received the following message; Error establishing
   a database connection
 * When I copied the Rewrite lines of code to the .htaccess file I didn’t delete
   the lines above the Rewrite code that read: # BEGIN WordPress <IFModule mod_rewrite.
   c> and at the bottom I didn’t delete the </IfModule>
 * # END WordPress
 * Should I have deleted those lines of code?
 * Thanks for your help,
    Jim

 * That’s not an htaccess related error. That’s a db error. It means it cannot find
   the new tables for the new blog in the db.
 * Usually it’s because the db user does not have ALL privileges.

 * By golly, that is your name on the front of the WordPress All-In-One for Dummies
   book. I’ll say this, I really like the book. It has a whole lot of helpful information
   in it. I just need to get my mind wrapped around this multisite stuff.
 * So, is getting ALL privileges for my db something I need to take up with my server
   provider or do I need to look for something in the book that will help?
 * Thanks

 * If you have access to some sort of SQL admin tool (like via Cpanel) you should
   be able to do it yourself. If not, ask your host 🙂

 * Yeah, it;s a bit of a head warp but really fun. 🙂
 * And yes, the db user is a host issue. Did you use a one-click install to set 
   up wordpress?

 * I’m pretty sure I used the one-click install.

 * Ugh. Yeah, they tend to have stupid permissions issues with database tables :/

 * Can you make a new db user, give them all permissions, assign them to the db 
   and change that line (db_user) in your config file? 😀

 * I’m going to go ahead and mark this as resolved. I’m doing some work on my server,
   subdomains, and MYSql DBs. Going to try again from the beginning.
