Do you have the correct path? What about db username and password? Did you grant all privileges?

How did you do the install?

Hi there yes i installed straight to root directory and used

The database username
 *
 * @global string $CONFIG->dbuser
 * @name $CONFIG->dbuser
 */
$CONFIG->dbuser = '{{web234-hosp4hom}}';

/**
 * The database password
 *
 * @global string $CONFIG->dbpass
 */
$CONFIG->dbpass = '{{VYQYSCSpG4LEWyE3}}';

/**
 * The database name
 *
 * @global string $CONFIG->dbname
 */
$CONFIG->dbname = '{{web234-hosp4hom}}';

/**
 * The database host.
 *
 * For most installations, this is 'localhost'
 *
 * @global string $CONFIG->dbhost
 */
$CONFIG->dbhost = '{{localhost}}';

I must be missing something

Sorry i just ftp it to install

paul

Are you sure about the db name?

See if your hosting has an automated script installer to install elgg.

Hi,

Yeh i am sure and no they dont. The hosts have confirmed the database credentials are correct.

What about db user privileges?

Your settings are correct, I don't see a problem with it. Could it be that the database is under maintenance or something?

Remove all that curly brackets from the settings value and check it again. i.e change

$CONFIG->dbuser = '{{web234-hosp4hom}}';

to

$CONFIG->dbuser = 'web234-hosp4hom';
