 * Hi
 * Trying to setup wordpress on a 123-reg account.
    Trying to set up the database
   but nothing is working and just getting the “error establishing a database connection”
   message
 * Can anyone confirm
    1 – if I need to put in a new set of details for “Database
   Name”, “User Name”, and “Password”, or is these should be my regular 123-reg 
   details (and if so which for whic)
 * 2 – what I should put in the “Database Host” line
 * Many thanks in advance

 * You need to ask your hosts these questions.

 * The error you are receiving is almost always related to a username/password issue
   or the hostname being incorrect.
 * This article explains the database hostname’s that 123-reg assigns [http://www.123-reg.co.uk/support/answers/Web-Hosting/Databases/database-hostnames-4167/](http://www.123-reg.co.uk/support/answers/Web-Hosting/Databases/database-hostnames-4167/)
 * However it appears that they offer a “one click” installer for WordPress from
   within the control panel and I would suggest using that to make things easier
   🙂

 * The “one click” installer is on their Business package and I’ve only got their
   Start Up option as it’s for a small project.
