WordPress Installation : Error establishing a database connection

Website Building
#21

I run Wordpress with a Privacy Policy Plug-in. When I enable it, it crashes my site with “Error establishing a database connection”. When I disable it, all is fine.

I have 2 Wordpress sites running, the other one without a privacy policy has never given me any problems, it’s just the one with the interactive Privacy Policy that causes this?

Anyone else had this problem?

#22

OK, so it happened again even after I disabled the Privacy Policy, so that is not the problem. Why is this happening? I have run a database repair from the wp-admin panel, then it works fine for a while, then bombs out again?

I’m using WordPress version 2.6.2, should I upgrade? My other Wordpress site is running fine on 2.6.2, never had a problem?

My UserName for MySql has been created correctly and configured in wp-config.php?
[U]
PHP Admin :[/U]
a9778201_****** a9778201_*** Enter phpMyAdmin
**[U]

wp-config.php :[/U]**

// ** MySQL settings ** //
define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘a9778201_***’); // The name of the database
define(‘DB_USER’, ‘a9778201_***’); // Your MySQL username
define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘***’); // …and password
define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘mysql2.000webhost.com’); // 99% chance you won’t need to change this value
define(‘DB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8’);
define(‘DB_COLLATE’, ‘’);

#23

It can’t be a config problem, the one minute it runs, shortly after it crashes then recovers and runs for a while again and continues in this pattern. Could it be SQL server issues on mysql2.000webhost.com, my other wordpress site runs on mysql4.000webhost.com

#24

I’ve install wordpress manualy but itsn’t run to my domain / url like this picture please help me !!:confused:

#25

that is because you uploaded it into a subdirectory. Just move the files to the public_html directory

#26

I’m use Wordpress.But when updated from 2.6 to 2.7 .I can’t use Windows Live Writer to publish my posts.

#27

Open ticket and ask support to recompile php with XLMRPC libraries…

#28

when i open index.php it tells error estab…connection
and when i open public_html/word press/wp-admin/admin.php then error…and tells to check username and pass or hostname

#29

here is my sql setting

// ** MySQL settings ** //

** The name of the database for WordPress */
define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘a8287730_wpress’);

/** MySQL database username */
define(‘DB_USER’, ‘a8287730_wpress’);

/** MySQL database password */
define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘**************’);

/** MySQL hostname */
define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘mysql11.000webhost.com’);

/** Database Charset to use in creating database tables. */
define(‘DB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8’);

/** The Database Collate type. Don’t change this if in doubt. */
define(‘DB_COLLATE’, ‘’);

What’s the URL of your WordPress site?

#31

it is http://a5gamesandsoftwares.cf/Word%20Press/index.php

and for wp-admin , admin.php it is
http://a5gamesandsoftwares.cf/Word%20Press/wp-admin/admin.php

#32

It can’t establish a database connection because your MySQL details in wp-config are wrong. There is no database with the name wpress in your account

#33

Here www.a5gamesandsoftwares.cf/Word Press/index.php

And For Admin.php

a5gamesandsoftwares.cf/Word Press/wp-admin/admin.php

#34

here
http://a5gamesandsoftwares.cf/Word%20Press/index.php

and For admin.php
http://a5gamesandsoftwares.cf/Word%20Press/wp-admin/admin.php

yes actually we can create only 2 mysql database so i have taken from one of my friend

should i use my existing mysql database

#35

If any of the two databases you have in your account is for WordPress then you need to put its name into your wp-config.php file

#36

Yes i Know That But One Is For My Website’s Forum And One For Search Box
And So I Have Taken New Mysql From My Friend

#37

That does not work. You can only use database from your account.

#38

Ok thank you very much let me add details in wp-config

And Then i will tell u the results

Check Out The New problem. I Updated mysql database in wp-config.php now when i index.php firefox gives me this

"The page isn’t redirecting properly

Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.

This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept cookies."

and in google chorme it tells that this redirection has many loops
