Error Establishing Database Connection (Speakeasy.net)
-
Hello,
Looking to do a blog and was impressed by WordPress’ features in addition to the “five minute installation.” Had to know that was too good to be true, but I suppose it could have been harder. 😉
PROBLEM:
I use Speakeasy as my DSL and web hosting provider. I got them to provision MySQL and even the subdomain I needed, but when I try to run the installer I get the aggravating “error establishing database connection.”
I did determine that the MySQL databases at Speakeasy are not hosted via “localhost” but changing it to the proper reference didn’t help. I’m at a loss, and Speakeasy, while helpful, can’t be expected to debug it beyond what we’ve tried already (though the ticket is still open, they may yet come up with something).
My Domain: http://www.quosig.com
WordPress Location: http://www.quosig.com/blog/ (also blog.quosig.com)Config code:
/*
define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘xxxxxxxx_quosig_db1’);
define(‘DB_USER’, ‘xxxxxxxx’);
define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘xxxxxxxx’);
define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘db.speakeasy.net’);
*/They also gave me a specific port number, just in case, so I also tried that:
/*
define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘xxxxxxxx_quosig_db1’);
define(‘DB_USER’, ‘xxxxxxxx’);
define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘xxxxxxxx’);
define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘db.speakeasy.net:xxxx’);
*/Where “x” is a placeholder for the real info.
I tried a search of the support areas for Speakeast-specific info, but the two I found were far more advanced subjects, stuff I haven’t even gotten to. 😉
I didn’t see anything in the install instructions mentioning any special procedures to installing WordPress in a directory (www.quosig.com/blog/ or blog.quosig.com), but maybe I missed something?
Is there anything I need to have Speakeasy do that might fall outside normal security measures? Is there something I can do manually? I don’t seem to have these “cpanel” things mentioned, so I may have to relay requests via support, so details are everything.
Help?
