I just uploaded my to 1and1.com today after trying and trying for 3 days, so frustrating.
I finally figured it out:
The wp-config says this:
<?php
// ** MySQL settings ** //
define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘db216973624’); // The name of the database
define(‘DB_USER’, ‘dbo216973624’); // Your MySQL username
define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘xxxxxx’); // …and password
define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘db021.perfora.net’); // 99% chance you won’t need to change this value
define(‘DB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8’);
define(‘DB_COLLATE’, ”);
I filled everything in accept for the spot where it says 99% of the time you won’t have to change this value.
Well, when I did change that value, 1and1 must be only the 1% server you have to change this and added the host server name in as above, it worked liked a butter. That wording 99% chance you won’t need to change this, is very confusing. Most amateurs probably don’t touch it.
Now after I find out how EASY this is to install, I can delete my blogger account. I love wordpress!
All the database info are bogus numbers…not my real database info.
