• Hi,
    I have made a website for my dog, and have dev. the site/design on a Mac with Tiger 1.4.2, now I’m ready to put it online but the hosting server is a Mircosoft Windows 2003 server with PHP and mySQL server.

    But I have a problem with installing WordPress…
    take a look at http://www.charlie-hunden.dk/wp-admin/install.php

    Here is the wp-config.php file:

    <?php
    // ** MySQL settings ** //
    define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘charlie_hundendk’); // The name of the database
    define(‘DB_USER’, ‘charlie’); // Your MySQL username
    define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘testing’); // …and password
    define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘charlie-hunden.dk’); // 99% chance you won’t need to change this value

    // Change the prefix if you want to have multiple blogs in a single database.
    $table_prefix = ‘charlie_hundendk_’; // example: ‘wp_’ or ‘b2’ or ‘mylogin_’

    // Change this to localize WordPress. A corresponding MO file for the
    // chosen language must be installed to wp-includes/languages.
    // For example, install de.mo to wp-includes/languages and set WPLANG to ‘de’
    // to enable German language support.
    define (‘WPLANG’, ”);

    /* Stop editing */

    define(‘ABSPATH’, dirname(__FILE__).’/’);
    require_once(ABSPATH.’wp-settings.php’);
    ?>

    Some one ?!

    You sure you got the database server name right? It is usually LOCALHOST or a name that is specific to your webhost. You don’t use your domain name for it.

    Hi Cypher,
    I have tried localhost… the funny thing is, if you try to connect with the login informations, you can login, but why can’t WordPress ?

    So you set the DBHOST to be “localhost” and WP still has trouble, while you can login manually? Am I understanding you correctly?

    WP doesn’t do anything fancy to establish the connection, so if you can login, it should be able to as well.

    Which host do you have your site with?

    Yes, you are understanding me correctly – see now I have chance the wp-config.php file to localhost – See: http://www.charlie-hunden.dk/wp-admin/install.php.

    Im hosting the domain on my own server, thats why I think it is strange…

    What can it bee ?!

    Have you double- and triple-checked your database name, database user name, and password? Many times a simple mistake here can lead to hours of frustrating troubleshooting.

    Double-check spelling. For the password, double-check case. Are you sure you’re using the same username and password in wp-config.php as you used in your tests to manually connect?
