Database install

  • Im currently trying to install wordpress and having difficulty doing so.

    DB_NAME
    DB_USER
    DB_PASSWORD
    DB_HOST

    are all correct because i have this installed on a seperate server and it is working fine. Could it be the hosting that it doesnt support php or something?

    Any help greatly appreciated

    Error establishing a database connection
    i have everything setup including the external data base connection and it will not connect

    PHP would seem to be working if you get that message. Not sure what you mean by ‘external data base’ but some hosts won’t allow external connections to their database servers but check with your host.

    already have waiting for them to get back to me. I know for a fact I can with my provider as there is an internal and external host link with the external you have to allow access through the the sites IP address to do so which I have but still wont work.

    If you are connecting your database from remote server and receiving this error then probably the remote MySQL connection is blocked on the server.
