Krishna – you rushed to judgement, I wasn’t trying to Hijack the thread, and perhaps my typo using ‘have’ vs. ‘had’ contributed to you thinking that, I guess ‘Grammar is to Comprehension is what Syntax is to coding’. With that said.

I was trying to point out a possible solution to MDSimone’s problem not post a question for myself.
So I’ll resay it with my typo corrected.

MDSione – I HAD the same problem and received the exact same “infamous Error establishing a database connection message”

I solved it by double checking down to everything but the salts that DB info in the ‘wp-config’ is correct. And when I did that I then got the error message above (the 1045). As I cant wait 48hrs fro a Godaddy answer, I then made a new WordPress Self-hosted install, then re-imported my last back up of the site, and then edited the WP-Config DB info to go to THAT database. Site is now up. I lost about 2 days worth of changes that I had not exported to my external DB. But glad to have the site back up.

All the Best

Hey All,

I think I found the solution on my end. On the same manage my applications page GoDaddy has (thats where you install/update/uninstall your applications like wordpress)

I updated my version of WordPress from 3.2.1 to 3.3.1 and THAT was the issue. I did a full rollback to 3.2.1 and BAM! everything is Just fine and dandy joy joy joy out the wazoo.

So on my end (might just be my install alone) something with version 3.3.1 doesn’t jive and causes a fail on updates or installs of plug ins and themes. So if your on version 3.3.1 and having this issue do a rollback.

I told the GoDaddy support member that same news. They finally answered me after 6.5 hrs 3.5 hrs later than their 3hr posted response time but reliable hosting for wordpress is an issue for another topic post.

I did everything at the http://gmichaelguy.com/blog/2010/11/28/my-wordpress-3-0-multi-site-domain-mapping-with-godaddy/ site.

Still no joy. Whats going on here?

I have mymergemedia.com
I am trying to make, http://mymergemedia.com/imergeandsee
go to imergeandsee.com

I did all the steps, have gone through dozens of forum posts and no joy with anything.

I set up the sunrise in the wp-config.php (see below).
I copied the plug in file ‘domain_mapping’ to the mu-plugins folder.
I set up the DNS in the imergeandsee.com, as instructed the A Record goes to the I.P. Address 173.201.208.1 the CNAME ‘WWW’ goes to mymergemedia.com

It was a similar process for using the Google Blogger which I had working for the last 5 years, ‘A’ name in the Domain goes to I.P. Address, and the WWW points to the domain (for google it was ghs.google.com, the blogger address ‘imergeandsee.blogspot.com’) I assume the WordPress Domain plugin does this same thing on my “mymergemedia.com” domain.

So is something wrong with the plugin then? If so how do I fix it?
I have been trying to fix this for the past week, my imergeandsee.com has been down

define('WP_DEBUG', false);

if ( !defined('ABSPATH') )
	define('ABSPATH', dirname(__FILE__) . '/');
/** Sets up WordPress vars and included files. */
require_once(ABSPATH . 'wp-settings.php');

The only other thing I can think is that I have sub domains entertainment.imergeandsee.com, lifestyle.imergeandsee.com are two of them. Right now the home page is dead and I am losing my traffic. I need a fix ASAP. I had a similar problem for 3 weeks with the multi site network I’m thinking, I’ll have to dump the word press effort and go back to blogger. I’ll suffer for a few more days but thus far the extra stress and effort has not been worth it.
