My Blog was running on my home server, for a few days

My Blog was running on my home server for a few days until I resolved the problems with my site because SiteGround wanted to charge me for a problem that I believe they caused. I will always manage my WordPress configuration outside of the CPANEL Fantastico script wizard from now on. I have my blog sort of mirrored at http://zaramyth.com/lonnie. I'll automat the backup soon.

I have had an ordeal with my hosting provider Site Ground.  This is the second major service event that I have experienced with them in my 5 year business relationship.  My first falling out was when they said I had been upgraded to unlimited storage.  when I proceeded to load all of my images to the server they baulked and said that the policy did not include multimedia files.  static images were considered multi media.  I decided to host my own cloud server for my stuff in my home.  since moving to Georgia I have set up my server and it is working great.

 

I did have to redirect my personal blog to my home server because of the database problems that they could not resolve for free.  So now I have my blog back on the Site Ground (http://lonnie.wormley.org) but my gallery (http://gallery.wormley.org) is on my server (zaramyth.com).

Below is the database errors from my Site Ground help desk ticket.

See the past tickets. not sure what is going on.Username and password have not changed, they are in a previous post on this thread. Feel free to edit this post for testing. 2011-10-22 12:53pm byYavor.I - I am sorry, but this is not a hosting related issue that we can help you with. It would be best to contact a professional developer. You can find one at:http://freelancer.comIf you want, I can restore the edited by my colleague file from our backups, but this will bring the initial problem back.If you have other questions, please let us know. Best Regards, Yavor I. Technical Support Team 2011-10-22 01:23pm bywormlelo - OK I'll fix it my self, thanks for nothing. One more reason for running stuff on my own server. 2011-10-22 01:28pm byYavor.I - Thank you for the update.If you have other questions, please let us know.Best Regards,Yavor I. Technical Support Team 2011-10-23 01:08pm bywormlelo - I rebuilt my WordPress and it works locally. I did not change username or password for database, but I did recreate the database. I cannot grant access to the database. I have no grant rights on your server.Here is a snippet from my config/** MySQL database username */ define('DB_USER', '*******');/** MySQL database password */ define('DB_PASSWORD', '*******'); /** MySQL hostname */ define('DB_HOST', 'localhost'); I need you to grant full rights to database wormley_wrdp1 for the named user wormley_wrdp1. 2011-10-23 01:52pm bywormlelo - Here is a link to the site working on my local server. http://zaramyth.com/lonnie/Please fix database connection.I am pretty sure that this problem which started 10 days ago was a due to a database error on your server. Did any other users have problems? I do not do any custom database work with WordPress, I just use the front end. I should not have to pay a web developer to fix a problem that was started by something beyond my control.BTW, I exported all of my data and recreated the database and it fixed the problems on my server. Not sure if it will be fixed on your server. 2011-10-23 02:07pm bywormlelo - BTW, decided to redirect lonnie.wormley.org -> zaramyth.com/lonnie until you get things working.
