Cannot connect to PhotoPost MySQL server

[Jennifer Marx]

When I try to run install.php, I get this error:

"I cannot connect to the PhotoPost MySQL server. [host:$host][mysql_user:$mysql_user][mysql_password:$mysql_password]. Check your config-inc.php for the correct settings and rerun."

I've double-checked my new database name, username, and password and they look just fine. Is there any other reason I'd be getting this error?

You would need to recheck this info as the only reason you would not connect is mysql is not active or the information is wrong
