WordPress MU

Hi,
i try to install wordpress mu with the installer,

wordpressmu/index.php

db name: a2623306_word
username: a2623306_spirit
password: ******
Database host: mysql3.000webhost.com
(also tryed with local host)

if i click on submit i get:
Error establishing a database connection

can someone help me?

okay i solved this problem by deleting the wp-config.php (i thing it should be automatical deleted or rewritten by a new setup when you entered wrong data and the program cannot connect...)

or change the error:
Error establishing a database connection to
Error establishing a database connection please delete the wp-config.php and begin a new install.

You could just edit wp-config.php with the right database information since you put it in wrong. It's common sense.

yes i tryed but as i edited and changed the adress where localhost was i got an other error about this is not a supportet url or something like this.

now i have got it working and an other question:

i have webspace on a server

in the readme i understand this not:

13 Apache
14 ======
15 Apache must be configured so that mod_rewrite works. Here are
16 instructions for Apache 2. Apache 1.3 is very similar.
17
18 1. Make sure a line like the following appears in your httpd.conf
19 LoadModule rewrite_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_rewrite.so
20
21 2. In the <Directory> directive of your virtual host, look for this
22 line
23 "AllowOverride None"
24 and change it to
25 "AllowOverride FileInfo Options"
26
27 3. In the <VirtualHost> section of the config file for your host there
28 will be a line defining the hostname. You need to add the following
29 if you want virtual hosts to work properly:
30 "ServerAlias *.domain.tld"
31 Replace domain.tld with whatever your one is, and remove the quotes.

1. how can i access the file httpd.conf if i only have webspace?
2. <Directory> directive <- where is this folder exactly?
3. <VirtualHost> section of the config file <- which config file exactly?

"You could just edit wp-config.php with the right database information since you put it in wrong. "

Actually that doesn't work because it then does not continue with the install and doesn't create the db tables, so you have to delete it and retry anyway

@Andreas84 - if you don't understand it, send the directions to your webhost and ask them to enable wildcard subdomains. You only need to do this is you want youruser.yourdomain.com.

Sorry..
I can't see the real solution for ""Error establishing a database connection"

some of my client face this issue several times, in most of the cases they put a extra 'blank space' when they copy+past the db name & host name which will causes error. You may check that.

"Error establishing a database connection" is simple.

It means the connection credentials aren't right. Either the username, password, database name, or host is incorrect.
