The answer to the first question is Yes because the correct username and password were used.

Re Question 2. Here is a print-out of the wp-config.php file:

<?php // ** MySQL settings ** // define('DB_NAME', 'netin123_wrdp1'); // The name of the database define('DB_USER', 'netin123_wrdp1'); // Your MySQL username define('DB_PASSWORD', '***********'); // ...and password define('DB_HOST', 'localhost'); // 99% chance you won't need to change this value define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8'); define('DB_COLLATE', ''); // Change each KEY to a different unique phrase. You won't have to remember the phrases later, // so make them long and complicated. You can visit http://api.wordpress.org/secret-key/1.1/ // to get keys generated for you, or just make something up. Each key should have a different phrase. define('AUTH_KEY', 'f7sXx[2wbB@LBwlxS{A56y>+DiP[2ct773mmXz iq\\Ms}?(;_a#ypoR5\'3w<G5>FL~1X'); // Change this to a unique phrase. define('SECURE_AUTH_KEY', '-\"r642fed3E1d>}MdGFlh@tR!QPU%/!S_6;CjO0}^>6TDiP[2ct773mm+ <?)3 U#*X;'); // Change this to a unique phrase. define('LOGGED_IN_KEY', 'Q^l\"6-pLDiP[2ct773mm\zkw>OG<U$%u0:9H:Jl)+d$~jIBTt&CPL[Dp<KY4zL3y'); // Change this to a unique phrase. // You can have multiple installations in one database if you give each a unique prefix $table_prefix = 'wp_'; // Only numbers, letters, and underscores please! // Change this to localize WordPress. A corresponding MO file for the // chosen language must be installed to wp-content/languages. // For example, install de.mo to wp-content/languages and set WPLANG to 'de' // to enable German language support. define ('WPLANG', ''); /* That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */ if ( !defined('ABSPATH') ) define('ABSPATH', dirname(__FILE__) . '/'); require_once(ABSPATH . 'wp-settings.php'); ?>

Sorry, I am not familiar enough with PHP or what it’s trying to do here to read and understand the file contents. But hostname = DB_HOST seems to be there, right?

Re: Is the database server running? The webhost has not yet responded to my support ticket question on that. However I have 7 websites up and operating on that server as well as an autoresponder and an ad tracker. All seem to be O.K. Doesn’t that tell me that the database server must be running, for those websites and server-side scripts to load and work O.K.?

Any suggestions as to where to go from here would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!
