I am trying to prepare a WordPress site, on my public web server, running apache2. The database host, I am trying to use, for the WordPress installation, is another server.

While I can successfully connect the db_host from my web server, through MySQL client, WordPress configuration can not connect the database.

Though mysql_client works from the same machine

Please help me

What do you have as username in `wp-config.php`? Do you have there also the correct password? – Romeo Ninov Jan 24 '23 at 16:13

It's been a while, but I think you must also [create a database](https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/creating-database-for-wordpress/#using-the-mysql-client). – Freddy Jan 24 '23 at 16:32
