First time install here. . .

MySQL Administration within 1and1 says my database is ready,

It gives:

Database Name- db344010893

User Name – dbo344010893

Host Name – db2653.perfora.net

I enter the Database/User Name as shown, enter my password and i get the error

“There was a problem connecting to the database you specified.

Please check the settings, then try again.”

btw- i have the beginner hosting package with them.

What’s the deal?

1and1 Tech Support was extremely fast, wow.

I had to go into advanced settings and put in the Host Name. . .

I didn’t think i needed to mess with the advanced stuff, but i guess i did.
