Ok, I will admit I am a major rookie at this. I can't get past connecting to my database in the setup.

 

Depending on what I enter as the server address of the database, I either get this error message:

 

Lost connection to MySQL server at 'reading initial communication packet', system error: 111

 

or this one:

 

Access denied for user 'flowergail'@'97.74.215.117' (using password: YES)

 

Here is the info for my database.

 

Server version: 5.0.91-log

Server: flowergail.db.5751415.hostedresource.com (173.201.88.31 via TCP/IP)

User: [email protected]

 

Which is the server address I am supposed to use? And why am I not able to connect to my database?

 

Is it something stupid I'm not understanding? Or is it my server?

You are supposed to use what your host told you to use. It is not something that we can give you with any certainty.

 

If your website and mysql server is on the same machine then localhost should work, as Fimble said. If your host has a separate machine for the mysql databases then you will have to use what they tell you to use. If the information they gave you is what is in your post then...

 

Server: flowergail.db.5751415.hostedresource.com

Username: [email protected]

 

This should work. If not contact your host.
