I use Cyberduck for ftp. When I checked out the ‘advance’ tab (which, funnily, is litterally called like you said). It said that I am uploading all files passively -by default- .
That’s a pitty actually, as there isn’t really a possible problem left that may explain the contineous message about not being able to get a connection with my DB started.

The last thing I can come up with is that
db5.awardspace.com
is NOT the way to call the DB host.
You, samboll, might be familiar with this.
I assume the way I mentioned is the correct one (?)
Not that I haven’t tried numerous of different ways to call the DB_HOST …

After a quadruple check; DB name can’t be wrong.
Umm, that ‘passive mode’ you are talking about; how do I upload passively?
I chmodded the files to 744 now; I reckoned it couldn’t hurt that much to let Others execute, not write ánd execute, my uploaded files, but k.
I think that latter problem you mentioned is mine.
Is there a certian .. switch to pull? in the FTP-prog preferences or ..
