Good News!

I entered the private IP address and the thing worked. I guess I am one of the 1%…

Thanks to all!

Thanks All!

“Firewall?”

Nope, I own it and am behind it…

“Do you have root access where you could try to login to MySQL directly? Or, via one of the 3rd party programs?”

I can do both! I am using the native MySql utilities and phpMyAdmin.

I have reverted to the old_password hashing and can successfully (locally) log into MySql as the wordpress user. Like I say, this server is using this installation og MySql for another application that work properly. I’m doubting MySql is the issue but won’t rule out anything.

I’m into page 24 (again) of this installation support and am yet to uncover anything…

Thank you!

Thanks for the quick response…

First, yes, user “wordpress” has all privileges.

Not to sound self-serving but I do have a fair amount of experience with these things so I wouldn’t characterize myself a newbie. But definately a newbie to WordPress…

Could I have a funky server setup? Possibly but I am using this same MySQL for another applicaiton which runs fine…

Any other ideas???

Thank you!
