Everything is correct in my wp-config with sql instance, db details and all. Still getting the

No error access cloud_sql_proxy with authentication.

Please help :(

Thank you.

Thank you! Adding the region and the password worked for me too. Is that described in documentation somewhere or did you figure it out?

If you're using a second-gen Cloud SQL instance, you need to include the full instance connection name (including region), e.g. your-project-name:us-central1:wordpress, as well as the root password for your Cloud SQL instance. That worked for me...

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?
