In reply to: Error establishing a database connection@hd198871
I finally managed to solve the issue by using the localhost IP-address “127.0.0.1” instead of ‘localhost’ for ‘DB_HOST’ in wp-config.php. Weird considering that this IP-address is mapped to localhost anyway…?Hope this helps.

In reply to: Error establishing a database connectionSee, it wasn’t that difficult to be polite now was it?
It doesn’t change the fact that I perceived your reply as being smug. Just to quote someone’s message and basically ask him/her if (s)he’s too stupid to read isn’t helpful. If you were really trying to help you could have made more of an effort. Myself being “technically challenged”, I kind of depend on helpful people in forums like this when my google imagination runs out, and there are usually lots of good people that understand how difficult it can be at times and just go that extra distance trying to be helpful.
“…that possibility can be removed before moving on to something else.”. Now a suggestion on what that “something else” could be, THAT would have been very helpful. I don’t know about hd198871, but I’m still stuck exactly where I was yesterday. And by the looks of it, not moving either.
