 * > so you need to use localhost or 127.0.0.1 instead.
 * This was the issue. Changing the DB_HOST to localhost did the trick. Thank you
   both for your help!

 * Hi catacaustic. I’m a little confused on how that would be different than when
   I moved the database to Dropbox and made syslink / mklink on both computers that
   points to the files?
 * Thanks again

 * Thank’s for the advice. I will go the route that you have suggested of just having
   two databases with the same names and details. It’s unfortunate that I can’t 
   share the database between the two computers.
 * Thanks
