Hello, thank you for the tutorial. i have followed the top instructions exactly. I am able to ping the database server via the file server from the command line using the private IP without any issue. I get an instant response. But for some reason i am not able to connect to the sql server via wordpress. i get an error establishing a database connection.
@ryanpq we successfully moved our wordpress sites into two droplets, one for web and other for db… both droplets were in apache and uses private networking to connect… SO if i move web server to nginx and db server in apache is ther any problem to connection?
another doubt is if i want to expand my web droplet by creating snapshot and make new one from snapshot, is there any problem to connect in private networking, or do i need to configure again ?
@ryanpq changed database to another server but database is not accessible for my wordpress ? i Followed the above tutorial correclty but
Error establishing a database connection This either means that the username and password information in your wp-config.php file is incorrect or we can’t contact the database server at 10.132.154.245. This could mean your host’s database server is down.
