Hi Peter,
I greatly appreciate you taking the time to look into this issue.
I had a chat with my webhost’s support team and they confirm that all the settings I am using are correct.
Using either 127.0.0.1 or ‘localhost’ should be fine, the username is fine (cycadlis_caleno) and doesn’t require the @ with the IP, and the database name (put into the MYSQL schema field) is correct: cycadlis_worldlist.
He suggested removing the rdb: from the Database name field ‘since it’s already defined as a remote connection’, but I realize this isn’t an option in the plugin. This shouldn’t matter, right? This is the name the plugin uses for the database (with the rdb prefix) and I don’t actually have to rename my database with that prefix, correct?
Any other ideas of what I can try? I still get the same error message.
thanks!
Michael
