Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: Error establishing a database connection@backentoft@gmail.com
You ought not perceive anything in an arena such as this. Text is a poor medium to convey emotion and as such you have no idea of my intentions or motivations. Assumptions are unwise. Anyway, enough of this nonsense and back to the problem at hand.
The only things I can think of (and I’m being redundant I know) is make absolutely sure
database nameanddatabase userare correct. Some hosts preface the database name with your username such asusername_databasename. Make sure said user has been added to the database with necessary privileges. On most hosts (but not all) the database host islocalhost. Double check that. Beyond that I’m out of ideas. Hopefully someone else with a fresh set of eyes will pop in.Forum: Installing WordPress

In reply to: Error establishing a database connectionSmug? Hardly. I quoted the first part of the question because the error message is self-explanantory. You’d be amazed how many people post that message in this forum believing they have entered the correct details when in fact they didn’t. Point I was trying to make is re-check the details to be absolutely certain so that that possibility can be removed before moving on to something else.
I quoted the second part of the question and replied with a “?” because I didn’t understand what he was trying to say.
If hd198871 thinks my response was smug then I apologize for it wasn’t meant to be. As for you I could care less how you take my responses. Have a nice day.

In reply to: Permalink pages not workingAfter having reverted to the default and your blog is working, try deleting the htaccess file. Switch again to “pretty permalinks” and let WordPress re-create the htaccess file and see what happens.

In reply to: Error establishing a database connectionThis either means that the username and password information in your wp-config.php file is incorrect or we can’t contact the database server at DB_HOST. This could mean your host’s database server is down.
Are you sure you have the correct username and password?
Are you sure that you have typed the correct hostname?
Are you sure that the database server is running?Error message is self-explanatory. Either the database server is down or you’ve entered the wrong details.

rpgn.net is using a paid theme.
If you want that kind of look then Google for “wordpress magazine theme” or terms similar. There are tons of them out there – many free.

In reply to: Can you upgrade wordpress when it’s on localhost?Hi kennethjaysone,
I’ve not encountered this error so I’m speculating at this point but I’m pretty sure of the problem. The file you want to edit is located at …
C:\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.2.8\bin\php.iniLook for the following –
post_max_size = 8M upload_max_filesize = 2M max_execution_time = 30 max_input_time = 60 memory_limit = 8Mand change to –
post_max_size = 750M upload_max_filesize = 750M max_execution_time = 5000 max_input_time = 5000 memory_limit = 1000MThis is overkill but should work.
Edit: I should add that Wamp needs to be started for the changes to take effect.
