Re: [google-cloud-sql-discuss] Issues connecting to Google Cloud SQL for wordpress

It worked!

wow! This already cost me a day. Thanks so much.

Now I have another problem and this is not SQl related but maybe you have a solution. I've been able to connect to the DB, and run the installation from

http://<project_id>.appspot.com/wp-admin/install.php

But after I log in, the system does not redirect me to the admin page. I just see the redirect url in the bar but the login-form still remains visible. After several tries, I tried to change my password by clicking on the forgot password and enter my password but then I get the error

The e-mail could not be sent.
Possible reason: your host may have disabled the mail() function.

Yes, I created a second generation instance based on the steps in this article - https://cloud.google.com/sql/docs/create-instance

I will try with the First Generation Instance. Thanks for the tip.

Hi,

Did you create a Second Generation instance by any chance? 

App Engine connectivity is not yet supported for Second Generation instances. 

If that's the case, please try creating a First Generation instance.

Sorry about the confusion.

I'm trying to host a wordpress blog on google app engine (GAE). I am following the steps outlined on the link below

http://googlecloudplatform.github.io/appengine-php-wordpress-starter-project/

I have created my project, deployed it, created an SQL instance and also created a database using the steps outlined in the link above (Note: I can't see the databases directly on Google Cloud SQL but when I query it from my console, I can see it).

One of the steps in the link above says to navigate to http://.appspot.com/wp-admin/install.php

When I do that, I get the following error

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 :/cloudsql/<PROJECT_ID>:production. This could mean your host's database server is down.

Please note that 'production' is my SQL instance name. I had earlier tried 'wordpress' as recommended in the starter-project but deleted it when i had issues and I'm unable to reuse it.

I also noticed that the Google Cloud SQl window has the following entry

Instance connection name     <PROJECT_ID>:us-central1:production

i.e. it automatically appended the location to my project id and instance name. So I tried using that in my config.php file in the place where it said to use ':/cloudsql/your-project-id:your-instance-name' but that still doesn't solve the problem.

Anybody have a solution?
