Could not connect to SQL database?
Howdy!
Okay, so.... I hardly know what I'm doing, but I think I followed the instructions to install it so far. But I get stuck, after trying to fill in the questions... I submit them all and I get:
Wrote database config file...
Could not connect to the SQL database (API: MySQLi)

I think I might have missed something with the MySql?
I'd be so grateful if someone could help!

Re: Could not connect to SQL database?
This is most likely a problem with the host name. You might need to use something other than "localhost". Check your site's FAQ or the section on setting up a database to see what the SQL host name is supposed to be.
You might want to try the 1.5.1 update, because it gives more specific error messages when the database won't connect: db_layer (1.5.1)
