I’m not a WordPress expert but it looks like you’re just not making a connection to your database correctly. I wrote a little database exerciser script (sitting over at [http://www.php4.com](http://www.php4.com)). Here it is: * [SNIP – Code removed as link to code is supplied] * You’ll need the correct localhostname, username, password and your DBinstancename.** Change those four values in the script at the top**. If your database is all good and your access is correct, this script should cruise thru and remedially conduct all of your basic database functions – creating a table, adding some records, query the records, delete a record and drop the table. If all is well this should run straight thru. My first guess is you have a database access or priviledges problem. Just copy the code & paste into a blank doc. Save as a . PHP file and upload to your site. Then just call it up in your browser. * mojo1 [http://www.morgacity.com](http://www.morgacity.com) * Thread Starter [golddave](https://wordpress.org/support/users/golddave/) * (@golddave) * [21 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multi-user-version-installation-error/#post-128647) * When I pull this up in the browser (after changing the 4 values) I get the following error: * Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_LNUMBER in /home/golddave/public_html/ dbtest.php on line 20 * [mccamish](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mccamish/) * (@mccamish) * [21 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multi-user-version-installation-error/#post-128837) * I don’t think there are issues with connecting to the database or permissions.
