mysql problem

Here’s a copy of the error message followd by by config script. Again, this is the same mysql database info I used for MT (moveabletype) application which just ‘popped’ into action.

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 duke.
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?

<?php
// ** MySQL settings ** //
define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘you55’); // The name of the database
define(‘DB_USER’, ‘you55’); // Your MySQL username
define(‘DB_PASSWORD, ‘****’); // …and password
define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘duke’); // 99% chance you won’t need to change this value

// Change the prefix if you want to have multiple blogs in a single database.
$table_prefix = ‘wp_’; // example: ‘wp_’ or ‘b2’ or ‘mylogin_’

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

/* Stop editing */

define(‘ABSPATH’, dirname(__FILE__).’/’);
require_once(ABSPATH.’wp-settings.php’);
?>

Well, I just received confirmation from my host provider about mysql settings which are:

MySQL Server : mysql.consultyou.net
MySQL Database Name : Same as your Valueweb username
MySQL Username : Same as your Valueweb username
MySQL Password : Your MySQL password
Port: 3306

I entered the new MySQL Server above (instead of duke), but still am getting the same error message.

with my host provider, the pass word is the same one assigned when I established the account and is the one used to login to my control pannel. I’ve got several applications using mysql so I know it’s working.

Hooooray! Well I did have everything correct, however it appears I had to reset my password, which I did with the same password. That fixed everything…

Seems strange to me, but it fixed it.

Thanks for the replies…
