MySQL Error

    Hi, I officially downloaded the newest release of WordPress today, I created a folder on my server labeled ‘blog’, this way people can type https://dailydiscussion.org/ blog and it would direct them to my WordPress area, for my members. Now, I sucesfully edited the config.php with my proper database information, and renamed it to the appropriate title. (wp-config.php).

    I went to the URL https://dailydiscussion.org/ blog/wp-admin/install.php, and it says there was an error connecting to my database. I know I accurately entered the appropriate data in the config.php file, so I am definetly certain that the error is not on my end. I ran this exact setup about 5 times, only to get the same error.

    Does anyone know what I am doing wrong? Maybe I need to contact my host and have them set something up?

    Thanks in advance, and I hope to get this software running soon.

    It could be one of the following:

    • You could have mistyped the database information in your wp-config file
    • You may have entered non-alphanumeric characters in your DB login information. If so, replace the '‘s enclosing your username, database name, and password with "‘s.
    • Are you sure the DB you are trying to use exists? Check with your web host to make sure.

    No, I did not mispell any database information.

    Okay, I made sure the database username is correct, the password is correct, and the database is correct in wp-config.php

    And, yes. I am positive the database exists because I created it myself, and assigned the user to it.

    Then check with your host that the database server is running and that you have the proper DB_HOST value.
