Hi,
i am trying to setup a fresh drupal 6.3 installation. My host is godaddy which has its databases served from a different host than the drupal folder is on. Anyway, i created a new database and made sure to get the correct username, passwd, database path and name.
When i get to the drupal installation page it prompts me for the database name for which i type: dbServerPath/dbName then also the username and passwd. It tells me it cannot connect to the database.
Then i tried to manually set the db_url in settings.php. But that doesn't work since it doesn't create the necessary tables.
I am sure this is a trivial issue for most people. But i googled it and either the posts were old or did not work for me.
I hope someone can point in the right direction.
thanks matt
