I got a problem with the installation of wp,
\ni changed my php config file to:
\n\/\/ ** MySQL settings **
\ndefine(‘DB_NAME’, ‘motou’); \/\/ The name of the database
\ndefine(‘DB_USER’, ‘motou’); \/\/ Your MySQL username
\ndefine(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘password’); \/\/ …and password
\ndefine(‘DB_HOST’, ‘freesql.org’); \/\/ 99% chance you won’t need to change this value
\nbut it doesn’t work. It complained always
\n“Cannot connect to the database”
\nand when i click further, i found Wp-install.php tries using ‘root@localhost’ to connect a database, but not the user name. Is that a bug in WP?
\ni use freesql.org as mySQL supporter.
\nAny reply will be appreciated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-24381","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic\/24381","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic\/24381\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=24381"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
