    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.

 * See, 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.
