 * Hi there
 * I’ve got a forwarding problem that I can’t seem to fix!
 * My domain [http://www.transenduro.co.uk](http://www.transenduro.co.uk) forwards
   to [http://www.transenduro.co.uk/wp](http://www.transenduro.co.uk/wp) where I
   have the WordPress installation. It’s in the “wp” folders as I have other domains
   forwarding to other folders on that hosting.
 * So, if I type in [http://www.transenduro.co.uk](http://www.transenduro.co.uk)
   it forwards on to the WordPress site as desired, however if someone types in 
   transenduro.co.uk it hangs and gives me the message “Error establishing a database
   connection”.
 * I can’t for the life of me figure out how to make it forward on when the www 
   prefix is not used.
 * Any ideas please?!
