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

Hi

I have the same issue when I tried to install wordpress to app engine.

I have followed all steps at https://googlecloudplatform.github.io/appengine-php-wordpress-starter-project/

And, everything local works well, and I can even deploy successfully, however, when I tried to install wordpress on app engine by

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

I get an error page saying 

"

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>:testsqlv1. This could mean your host's database server is down.

.....

"

if I try http://<project_id>.appspot.com, I get page showing:

"

Error establishing a database connection

"

I first tried second gen, and then first gen, none works for me.

I have app.yaml modified with <project_id> at the first line of the file

and I have wp-config.php modified with db name, db host, username password, etc.

I use root with empty password.

I also connect into mysql using instance IP and create database, say, 'wp_wordpress', 

It took me a whole day, and still the error page when I tried to install wordpress on app engine.

Can anyone help me on this issue?

Thanks a lot in advance

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?
