Hi, i want to install wordpress in lunarpages but i canīt.

Iīve uploaded wordpress in "public_html" with filezilla FTP,



Iīve changed the file "wp-config.sample" with my dates:

// ** MySQL settings - You can get this info from your web host ** //
/** The name of the database for WordPress */
define('DB_NAME', 'lpcpuser_dbname');

/** MySQL database username */
define('DB_USER', 'lpcpuser_dbuser@418.94.334.1');

/** MySQL database password */
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'password');

/** MySQL hostname */
define('DB_HOST', 'lpsql01.lunariffic.com ');

(and save like wp-config.php)



But when i go to   http://myname.com/wp-admin/install.php   take ERROR   and i see this message:

   
Problem connecting to the database

This may be because the user data and password for your wp-config.php are incorrect or you can not contact the database server in lpsql01.lunariffic.com, which could mean that the database server data from your host is down.

    * Are you sure the username and password are correct?
    * Are you sure that the correct hostname?
    * Are you sure the database server is active?



Sorry my english, i hope you understand it and help me.

Thanks.

For security, I have edited your post to remove your information. Edit wp-config and remove the "@418.94.334.1" part from the database username. It is not part of it.  

You can install Wordpress automatically in Webapps in LPCP as well.

hope you got it going, katrina is great.   i would like to add however that realizing that we have all been new and i certainly dont know everything i have to humbly say every new site owner should know that the first rule of siteowner 101 is never ever ever post your private information in a forum, especially username and pw info... what was albert thinking, im not sure but he is lucky that katrina was around to correct his error..

I really hate to see someone new run into trouble due to such an oversite...   if  you need to post info in here, mask out your site name and pw and username with xxxx...   example  www.xxx.com or pw xxxxxx or unsername xxxxxx  

we get the idea in your question, you never ever ever need to post your actual code with private info in the public forums ever.... you can post it with xxxx's in the right places to protect yourself... and i hope this keeps someone else from making such a huge mistake..

Well the error must be in the mysql connection settings, check that the user has full access to the database you try to use.
If it is still not working for you just let me know because I'm experienced in wordpress and I can help you for free. Smile
