I'm pretty new to php and mysql. And I just found this news group about 4 minutes ago. What I need to know, is how do I connect a wordpress application, located on a web server to a database located on my own computer. The reason for doing this instead of syncing the dbs is the Sql server on the web host is shared and SLOW. Mine only runs 1 maybe 2 databases. wordpress and maybe gallery (maybe a forum later) How can i do this? URL is http://www.baddblog.info here is the wp_config.php <?php // ** MySQL settings ** // define('DB_NAME', 'junior'); // The name of the database define('DB_USER', 'gbalkam'); // Your MySQL username define('DB_PASSWORD', '********'); // ...and password define('DB_HOST', '99.252.22.106:/tmp/mysql.sock''); // 99% chance you won't need to change this value define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8'); define('DB_COLLATE', ''); // You can have multiple installations in one database if you give each a unique prefix $table_prefix = 'wp_'; // Only numbers, letters, and underscores please! // Change this to localize WordPress. A corresponding MO file for the // chosen language must be installed to wp-content/languages. // For example, install de.mo to wp-content/languages and set WPLANG to 'de' // to enable German language support. define ('WPLANG', ''); /* That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */ define('ABSPATH', dirname(__FILE__).'/'); require_once(ABSPATH.'wp-settings.php'); ?> This script as above generates this error: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING in /home/content/g/b/a/gbalkam/html/wp-config.php on line 6 PHP on LOCALHOST Apache Version Apache/2.2.8 (Win32) DAV/2 mod_ssl/2.2.8 OpenSSL/0.9.8g mod_autoindex_color PHP/5.2.5 PHP on WEBSERVER Activate/Deactivate Languages PHP Version PHP 5.x The wordpress works on localhost under apache. Any ideas why this isnt working?
