Doteasy installation

  • Hey,

    I am trying to setup wordpress for my website hosted by doteasy.net. When I create a database, it names the database mymemberid_databasename. How would I go about entering this in the installation config file?

    I have tried the following under database name:
    mydomain_-_databasename
    mydomain_-_mymemberid_databasename
    databasename
    mymemberid_databasename

    I get the response: “Error establishing a database connection

    This either means that the username and password information in your wp-config.php file is incorrect or we can’t contact the database server at localhost.”

    Doteasy wordpress reference: https://www.doteasy.com/support/tutorials/WordPress/

    hostname: dprhcp108.doteasy.com

    Any suggestions?

  • Try:

    define('DB_NAME', 'mymemberid_databasename');
define('DB_HOST', 'dprhcp108.doteasy.com');

    in wp-config.php

    This either means that the username and password information in your wp-config.php file is incorrect or we can’t contact the database server at dprhcp108.doteasy.com.

    The control panel labels the username for the database as memberid_username
    I have tried:
    // ** MySQL settings ** //
    define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘memberid_wordpress’); // The name of the database
    define(‘DB_USER’, ‘username’); // Your MySQL username
    define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘***********’); // …and password
    define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘dprhcp108.doteasy.com’); // 99% chance you won’t need to change this value

    // ** MySQL settings ** //
    define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘memberid_wordpress’); // The name of the database
    define(‘DB_USER’, ‘memberid_username’); // Your MySQL username
    define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘***********’); // …and password
    define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘dprhcp108.doteasy.com’); // 99% chance you won’t need to change this value
