Data Base Error

[AndyC]

HI

I am trying to start building my new website on my live website using a sub domain. All was going very well until I tried to connect to the database. The first time it happened I assumed I had the wrong info so started again ( I've done it 4 times now) and I always get the same error message

Database Server is not found. Please verify the login, password and server fields (DbPDO)  

I gotten to the point of using copy and paste but still get this error.. I also tried on another domain I own that is no tin use and it worked first time so I know I am doing everything right .. Has anyone any ideas as I need to start working on new website as it's going to take months to get right

Looks like it's time to find out whether the database is actually working.

If you have a shell, did you try to connect to the database using telnet? Doing this here I get this:

$ telnet localhost 3306
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
[
5.7.25-0ubuntu0.18.10.2T 4�U7oPlT_bACGMgmysql_native_password

This means, a connection gets established. If there appears something like Connection refused, there is no server running.

 I understand what you are saying just not sure how to go about it with my database.. I may ask my hosting if they can check this for me

Do you have softaculous on your hosting?

If yes, install thirtybees from there, and than check the database setting on the softaculous install.

Like how server is written and database names.

There is but it hasn't got TB listed , it was the first thing I looked for

[tommat]

You can do it with any other softaculous software, just to see db settings

I see , will try this weekend then
