I'm going to apologise to start with, as I'm probably just an idiot and this is the standard fare xx check config problem, I have tried everything and was very hesitant about asking for help here.
I'm with Hostgator and was wondering if there was anything fundamental I need to change that isn't obvious with the host. I can't get past the install screen having set up a database, all the details are correct (checked multiple times, and tried with creating whole other databases as well).
Database name: oballon1_exhibit
Database username: oballon1_exhibit
Database Append: localhost
Any help very much appreciated, and sorry in advance.
