Okay….Sorry to admit….but I found out that I had two wp-config.php files hanging around…and I was editing the wrong one. Finally found the ‘right’ one and it’s now connecting!
Am trying to install WordPress…but having problem connecting to the database.
I created a MySQL database….and filled out the appropriate username, database name info in wp-config.php and ran the install.php file. It will not connect to the database.
I went into PhpMyadmin….created a small test table, and then created a simple query using asp/vbscript to see if it could access the table with the same parameters that I was putting in the wp-config.php file. I was successful with asp but not with WordPress!
Here’s my connection string for ASP
db.Open “Driver={MySQL ODBC 3.51 Driver}; Server=66.179.155.132; Database=bdwinternet;Uid=bandward;Pwd=hard2forget;);”
Here’s my config info in wp-config.php
// ** MySQL settings ** //
define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘bdwinternet’);
define(‘DB_USER’, ‘bandward’);
define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘hard2forget’);
define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘66.179.155.132’);
What am I doing wrong? I’m baffled…
