I have been wrestling with this forever and have tried tricks in the forums but I know it's something simple. I am editing in TextEdit on a Mac, running my WordPress blog as my website, hosted at Network Solutions, ftp with Fetch. this is what I get when I try to setup:
MySQL Error: Could not connect to the database server. Check your zp-config.php file for the correct Host, User name, and Password.
zenphoto setup
MySQL Error: Could not connect to the database server. Check your zp-config.php file for the correct Host, User name, and Password.
database not connected
Check the zp-config.php file to make sure you've got the right username, password, host, and database. If you haven't created the database yet, now would be a good time.
this is what I have as my settings:
$conf['mysql_user'] = "ftpLOGIN"; this is the login I need to use to ftp files to my server at network solutions
$conf['mysql_pass'] = "ftpPASSWORD"; password associated with said ftp login
$conf['mysql_host'] = "localhost"; // Won't need to change this 90% of the time.
$conf['mysql_database'] = "0185B3B.NETSOLHOST.COM"; my website in dot com verison rather than dot cc
// If you're sharing the database with other tables, use a prefix to be safe.
$conf['mysql_prefix'] = "zp_";
I'm confused by:
1. when it says "if you haven't created the database, now would be a good time." I have no idea what that means. is there an example file I can copy?
2. my .htaccess file is blank when I bring it down and open it in TextEdit. is this how it should be?
3. "Your web site title and address, if you have one. If not, leave blank." why would anybody be doing all of this if they didn't have a website title and address? how do you put zenphoto on your website if you don't have one? this is what I entered:
$conf['website_title'] = "haute dot cc";
$conf['website_url'] = "
http://haute.cc/hauteblog";
eternally grateful for help...
