Connection Error

  • I’m having a nightmare trying to get wordpress to work, as with a few other posts I keep receiving “Error establishing a database connection”

    I have double checked and triple checked all of the database settings in wp-config.php and they are definitely correct, I’ve even pasted them in from the email i received from my hosting company. I’ve set up several blogs on other sites and had absolutely no problems doing so.

    Can anybody give me any more advice on what could be going wrong?

    Many thanks in advance.

  • This is something weird. WordPress tells you if it finds a problem with the database and host prior to installation.
    If it reported everything is alright then I do not think you should have any problems.

    Please check Database Host name : Sometimes it differs from the default localhost

    Also at times, the Web Hosts append various numeric codes to the Database name, so please check the same also.

    the same thing is happening to me. I have 2 other blogs set up and running and they have no issues. It’s the ones I have messed with today that are saying the same.
