I wasn't getting any responses in the thread I posted in, so I figured a new topic might help...
I really need help. I am brand new to this, and I really want to learn how to make a website and stuff, but I am stumped and can not for the life of me figure out what's wrong...
Here's my info that's on my login page after I've logged into my site.
FTP address: alxclan.zxq.net
FTP username: alxclan_zxq
Database Name
alxclan_zxq_phpbb
User Name
2601_phpbb
and here's what I'm putting into the install area for the phpbb forums:
_____________________________________________
Database Type: MySQL with MySQULi...
Database Server hostname: localhost
Database Server Port: 21
Database Name: alxclan_zxq_phpbb
Database Username: alxclan_zxq_phpbb
Database Password: *****
Prefix for tables in database: phpbb_
_____________________________________________
This is the error I keep getting:
Could not connect to the database, see error message below.
Can't connect to MySQL server on 'mysql.hosting.zymic.com' (111)
For my DB name and username, I have tried every single combination of everything I can think of, nothing works.
Do I not have the right account or something? In the topic on how to install it (with pictures!), that user doesn't have the ..._zxq.net that I have. And he can also have 5 SQL databases, as where on my account I can only have three... I don't know if any of that makes a difference, but maybe I signed up for the wrong thing or something..
I've been at this for three days and have tried reinstalling everything, making my domain name shorter, you name it, if someone could help me, I'd appreciate it very much...
