WordPress/Free-Hostia problem

  • Hi guys. I’m wanted to start playing with wordpress so i register myself in a free host, https://www.freehostia.com/ just to start.

    Then i follow all the instructions and change wp-config.php with my credencials. When i try to access to my website i receive the following error message: “Error establishing a database connection”.

    I already tryied “localhost” and “mysql4.freehostia.com” in host field but that dosen’t worked. Can anyone help solve this? Thanks.

  • Did you make a database in freehostia.com?

    Using the credentials from that database, you should be inputting it into your wp-config.php file.

    in your host field, it should be “mysql#.freehostia.com”. (I assume you got this address by logging into phpMyAdmin, where it should state the exact host addresses.)

    Double check credentials for your database and your wp-config.ini file.
    When inserting your Database names/usernames/passwords/host fields, either edit the wp-config.ini file online, OR edit it offline and delete the one online, prior to reuploading. Sometimes there are issues with files not being able to be overwritten. (try to eliminate all other possible reasons by keeping your letter-casings the same, even though this might not matter)

    Double check your wp-config.php file to see if anything is missing from it.
