I was afraid of that. For some strange reason it doesn’t even recognize that the settings SHOULD ve accurate. The only other ting I can think of is to delete the wp-config.php file in an attempt to run the setup-config.php script. But when I’ve tried that, it says it’s still there, even though I can clearly see it has been deleted off the remote server.
My host is running Cpanel so it most likely is localhost accordoing to the link above. I’ve had it set uo before when I was hosting with GoDaddy, but their installation script automated everything after I created the database settings.
I created the database myself as koolshop_wp_forum
I created the database username myself as koolshop_kool
I created the database password as well and know it is accurate.
I assigned the user full control of the database.
The localhost setting should work, but if it doesn’t should I try the name of the site’s root as the host?
Is there anythying else I should try?
