  • I figured out my problem. It seems I was part of the 1%. I had to change the DB_HOST field . My final settings were like this.
    // ** MySQL settings ** //
    define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘xenakes’); // The name of the database
    define(‘DB_USER’, ‘xxxxxxxxxxx’); // Your MySQL username
    define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘xxxxxx’); // …and password
    define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘mysql.xenakes.com’); // 99% chance you won’t need to change this value
    I was thrown off because in my phpBB installs my DB_Name was in the DB_Host format. After this change everything worked fine.

    How do you make a wordpress user if you can’t get wordpress started?

    I’m getting the same database connection error. My config settings are correct. I have used mysql beofre setting up phpBB on my host with no problems. My database for WP is active, I can log into it with the UN & PW I’m using in the WP config in phpmyadmin. I don’t know what else to check.
    I have tried my database name as mysql.xenakes.com (which is the format for the databases in my phpBB installs) xenakes and xenakes.com. None of them work.
