[SOLVED] Word Press Issues

Trying to set word press up. Just getting a DB error everytime.
Quote:
Error establishing a database connection

This either means that the username and password information in your wp-config.php file is incorrect or we can't contact the database server at localhost. This could mean your host's database server is down.
  • Are you sure you have the correct username and password?
  • Are you sure that you have typed the correct hostname?
  • Are you sure that the database server is running?
I've looked and my db name, user name and password are correct, so I'm presuming it's the host. Any ideas?

Thanks
Jack

You have made the wp-config.php file right.

Re: Word Press Issues

Whats your url.

PHP: Select all

<?php
// ** MySQL settings ** //
define('DB_NAME''betanew_wordpress');    // The name of the database
define('DB_USER''betanew_word');     // Your MySQL username
define('DB_PASSWORD''Password'); // ...and password
define('DB_HOST''localhost');    // 99% chance you won't need to change this value
define('DB_CHARSET''utf8');
define('DB_COLLATE''');

// You can have multiple installations in one database if you give each a unique prefix
$table_prefix  'wp_';   // Only numbers, letters, and underscores please!

// Change this to localize WordPress.  A corresponding MO file for the
// chosen language must be installed to wp-content/languages.
// For example, install de.mo to wp-content/languages and set WPLANG to 'de'
// to enable German language support.
define ('WPLANG''');

/* That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */

define('ABSPATH'dirname(__FILE__).'/');
require_once(
ABSPATH.'wp-settings.php');
?>
does it look like that.

Re: Word Press Issues

Hey no worries I emailed my hosting people and they have fixed it . It's running really slow though - although I am logged on from school right now...

Re: Word Press Issues

They add a prefix to the database name which they forgot to tell me

It's all good now though

Re: [SOLVED] Word Press Issues

Yes, it is standard to have your username before the database name. For example...

yourdomain.com
username: mydomain

Database Name: wordpress
Real Database Name: mydomain_wordpress

Database User: bill
Read Database Username: mydomain_bill

Understand?
