Script Error! Database Hostname - Edited by Script

$db_server - this is where I am supposed to type the hostname for the database.

So, I replace that with the hostname, as such:
$intellecttoday.intellecttoday.org

However, the script seems only to want to take the last part of that, and get rid of the periods, as seen above.

What would I need to do to resolve such a problem?

Thank you!

 

have you tried simply localhost

 

Localhost isn't the hostname. That will not work.

I must use "intellecttoday.intellecttoday.org"

 

If it was working before, revert changes and contact the host manager.

Don't always assume the fault is on your end (unless it didn't work from the beginning).

Peace,

 

I was able to ping intellecttoday.intellecttoday.org, is the $ in the original post correct? Meaning, is this how you entered the host in the configuration file? If it is not recognized, do as azizny suggested.
