• Here’s the details:

    My host is laughing squid’s cloud hosting

    I create database & user

    Edited wp-config.php with exact username, password, and host(as documented here on laughingsquid’s wordpress page

    I upload everything under mysite/blog/

    I run /blog/wp-admin/install.php

    Now I get this:
    http://i35.tinypic.com/au6zpw.png

    I double checked and triple checked everything, deleted database, recreated, and created more users, and changed user password may times and nothing works.

    Thanks for the help.

  • I know you said that you have triple checked everything but it’s easy to miss a ‘ or something. I’ve listed the config.php code below for reference if you want you can copy this and insert your DB_NAME, DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD, and change DB_HOST if needed. Put all changes between ‘ and ‘ before the );

    <?php
    define('DB_NAME', '');
    define('DB_USER', '');
    define('DB_PASSWORD', '');
    define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');
    define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8');
    define('DB_COLLATE', '');
    define('AUTH_KEY', 'put your unique phrase here');
    define('SECURE_AUTH_KEY', 'put your unique phrase here');
    define('LOGGED_IN_KEY', 'put your unique phrase here');
    define('NONCE_KEY', 'put your unique phrase here');
    $table_prefix  = 'wp_';
    define ('WPLANG', '');
    if ( !defined('ABSPATH') )
    	define('ABSPATH', dirname(__FILE__) . '/');
    require_once(ABSPATH . 'wp-settings.php');

    Thanks; I use the same username and password to log on to the database administration panel and it is fine. The db_host is copy & pasted from the host’s control panel.

    the DB_NAME and DB_USER both have the same prefix and are entered correctly otherwise I wouldn’t be able to get into the mysql admin page.

    For hostname I tried both localhost and it gives the same message.

    I was looking at the config and the DB_CHARSET and DB_COLLATE and even though I’m supposed to leave them as is, I looked at the database control panel and this is what I see. Swedish?

    I created the database with my web host control panel. It was a one click simple thing. I never had to log into the actual sql admin panel till now so there’s no way I could have changed anything..

    and this is what I see. Swedish?

    that’s actually not a big deal and definitely won’t stop an install

    from laughing squid
    For example, if you name your database ‘dbcloud’, the cloud will append a number to the front (e.g. 402464_dbcloud)

    is yours in this format?
