Problem connecting to db
Posted: Tue Jul 07, 2020 11:31 am
Hi Everyone,
just getting back into doing web stuff again and don't want to use mega serious overkill for a modest website (e.g. wordpress) so happily came back to the one and only S9Y
But having problems installing / connecting to MySQL database ("The mySQL error was: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it."):
- local setup: WAMPServer 3.2.0
- MYSQLi
- wordpress, for example, works fine with this setup
- don't think it's password problems (tried with root and others)
- only recommendation in pre-diagnosis is imagemagick not found, otherwise everything ok.
I don't want to use another database as this setup is a reflection of what will be on the live hosted package.
Any pointers would be very welcome....
Pete
