Thanks for responding. According to yahoo, the host name is always “mysql”. WP is connecting to the host but is denied access to the database.
error message:
“WordPress database error: [Access denied for user ‘griehund’@’localhost’ to database ‘mysql’]
CREATE TABLE wp_terms ( term_id bigint(20) NOT NULL auto_increment, name varchar(200) NOT NULL default ”, slug varchar(200) NOT NULL default ”, term_group bigint(10) NOT NULL default 0, PRIMARY KEY (term_id), UNIQUE KEY slug (slug), KEY name (name) ) DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8″
PHPmyAdmin has user: griehund@localhost. Can’t find where to edit user name. WP.com connects and functions but WP.org does not.
