I need some help guys...
I have upgraded to advanced web hosting so our company can run a wordpress site. I have set up a SQL user, created a database and imported my wordpress sql file in myPHPadmin without any problems.
I remembered to change the site URLs in wordpress before exporting, so no probs there either.
I've uploaded all my wordpress files and changed the wp-config.php file to reflect the new DB settings which are:
DB Name: wordpress_mywebsite_com
User: username123456
Pass: password
Host: localhost
BUT All I get is the old "cannot connect to database" error message. I've tried all sorts of different combinations to no avail.
I had no idea it was going to be so difficult to get wordpress working on BT Hosting... Does anyone have any hints or tips?
I read somewhere that there maybe a permissions issue, also on a wordpress install I have elsewhere, the DB anme and username have to be prefixed with a username - but tried that and it doesn't work either?
Any ideas?
