that worked. thanks esmi!

Marty Martin you are the man. Thanks for all your help!

Thanks again Marty. I have been using ftp2.ftptoyoursite.com. I think I am getting closer, but now I get this message when trying to enter this URL: https://www.ryanghills.com/wp-admin/install.php

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 mysql50-76.wc1.dfw1.stabletransit.com. This could mean your host’s database server is down.

* Are you sure you have the correct username and password?
* Are you sure that you have typed the correct hostname?
* Are you sure that the database server is running?

If you’re unsure what these terms mean you should probably contact your host. If you still need help you can always visit the WordPress Support Forums.

I am pretty positive that my username and password are correct as well as my host name. When I try to go to ryanghills.com I get an Error in establishing Database connection message.

Could it be that I have to wait for LS to confirm my DNS switch?

Hey Marty and esmi,

Thanks for the help. I am a little bit confused though. Where exactly do I change my nserver? I’m guessing that this is the same thing as my DNS, which I have now changed to what LS sent me,

dns1.stabletransit.com
dns2.stabletransit.com

Is this correct? I am also guessing that because the (DNS) logo in my 1&1 control panel is red that this means that it has not been approved like you said earlier, Marty.

As for trying to use the https://ftp.ryanghills.com, I have tried that. For some reason in these fourms it changes this by adding a https:// to the beginning of it. I am going to contact the LS help desk.

I guess the next step is to wait for 24-48ish hours and see if changing the DNS works.

Again, thanks for the help.
