You need to check all four of them again. It's possible you need to specify a host name in place of localhost (the thing they say there is a 99% chance you won't need to change.) Since my database is on a different server, I need to change that 100% of the time.</p> <p>Only you will be able to verify that your connection details are correct. Right now, they are not and that's what the message is telling you. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/there-was-a-problem-connecting-to-the-database-you-specifiedplease-check-the-s#post-15877 Wed, 30 Apr 2008 04:22:46 +0000 rhodzr 15877@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>!!There was a problem connecting to the database you specified.<br /> Please check the settings, then try again.</p> <p>hi i'm new to this.. i wanted to install bbpress but after providing the database name and user i get this error..
