OK should be simple right? Worked when I did it locally using MAMP and all was fine, then going live uploaded and …. nothing just the ‘ERROR: Could not establish a database connection’ message.

WP is installed in the main directory and bb press is in lalala.com/forum

I’ve gone over the wp-config files and they are the same, any ideas guys?

// ** MySQL settings for BB** //

define( ‘BBDB_NAME’, ‘lalalala_live’ );

define( ‘BBDB_USER’, ‘barry’ );

define( ‘BBDB_PASSWORD’, ‘****’ );

define( ‘BBDB_HOST’, ‘localhost’, ‘0.0.0.0’ );

define( ‘BBDB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8’ );

define( ‘BBDB_COLLATE’, ” );

$bb_table_prefix = ‘bb_’;

// ** MySQL settings for wordpress ** //

define(‘WP_CACHE’, true); //Added by WP-Cache Manager

define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘lalalala_live’); // The name of the database

define(‘DB_USER’, ‘barry’); // Your MySQL username

define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘****’); // …and password

define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘0.0.0.0’); // 99% chance you won’t need to change this value

define(‘DB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8’);

define(‘DB_COLLATE’, ”);

$table_prefix = ‘wp_’;

Try define( 'BBDB_HOST', '0.0.0.0' );
