Hello all,
I am trying to host the site on its own domain, but I cannot get the website to connect to the database on the server. I have changed the address in the site config.php but it still says cannot connect.
Is there something I am missing? or am I doing it all wrong?:punch:

Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you

...huh? What I was saying is, you're trying to host the website on a seperate server than the one you have MySQL on, right? Well, you need to allow the machine that the website is on to connect to the MySQL database. To do this, you need to add a user privilege to MySQL for your website PC.

Ahh, and how would I do that. I have the Mangos built that auto starts the MySQL Database, so I dont have navicat or anything installed.
Thanks
