I've just created my first database driven website - it works perfect on my local testing server . . . I've uploaded the files and database to my remote server and nothing works. I've made sure my database name and user name is the same . . . oh please can someone direct me?

Horray - I figured it out - I double checked my user name and password in the "connection" php file that DW created - It didn't match what my server had.

Thanks!

Some host amend the Db name and the username with the hosting account
username like this:
username: username_user
database: username_DbName

look in host FAQ, or at phpMyAdmin to see the name convention.

Got a link? That way we can see what the error message is.

There is no error message, just a blank screen. I'm beating my head against the wall! The webhosting people think it's my code . . . but if it works on my testing server how can that be? What about the connection I created in DW? It's pointing to "localhost" - if my remote server has me place files in their /html/ folder, should my connection be localhost/html?
