I seem to be having a bit of trouble with www.perfectinsanitystudios.vndv.com. I have already installed 1 mysql database, and a user as well, I have assigned all the correct permissions to that user for that database, but my trouble lies in actually installing the db. I have set the correct permissons (777) for all the required files and sub directories, and I make it to the install screen where it asks for my MySQL db info. I give the correct info, or at least I think I am, and it does not connect. I don't know if maybe using localhost would cause an issue, since these are shared servers, or what, if somebody could give me some assistance when they get some time, I would appreciate it.

what are you using for your database username and database name? (DONT post your password obviously)
And using LOCALHOST is the only way to connect to the MySQL server so that isn't your problem. The reason I'm asking for your database names is because on the vndv server (had you searched you might have found this out) there is a 16 characters limit on the name. That includes your sitename the _ and the name you made for the database so for example, perfect_happy123 WOULD work but perfectinsanity_happy123 WOULD NOT work. If you don't understand what i'm saying, then just post your database info and we'll tell you what to do. |

Wait, so then if my website is longer than 16 characters, I cannot use MySQL? That's a bit of a bug.

Just use something under 16 characters. How hard is that?
