nightbook on "[Plugin: BackWPup Free - WordPress Backup Plugin] Cannot connect to MySQL database"

Hi Daniel,

I set up the database through Netfirms, it's an sql database.

DB Setup

// ** MySQL settings - You can get this info from your web host ** //
/** The name of the database for WordPress */
define('DB_NAME', '******');

/** MySQL database username */
define('DB_USER', '******');

/** MySQL database password */
define('DB_PASSWORD', '*******');

/** MySQL hostname */
define('DB_HOST', '******');

/** Database Charset to use in creating database tables. */
define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8');

/** The Database Collate type. Don't change this if in doubt. */
define('DB_COLLATE', '');

/**
 * WordPress Database Table prefix.
 *
 * You can have multiple installations in one database if you give each a unique
 * prefix. Only numbers, letters, and underscores please!
 */
$table_prefix  = 'eqh_';

Also it's multisite if that helps any with domain mapping enabled. Is there anything in particular I should be looking for.

Not sure if it's helpful but some more information

MySQL Version: 5.5.32 * According to Netfirms ui.

Logged in as phpMyAdmin is different information
MySQL - 5.5.40-0ubuntu0.12.04.1-log
phpMyAdmin - 2.8.0.1
MySQL charset: UTF-8 Unicode (utf8)
*old_passwords set to off.

PHP Version 5.5.6

Anything you need from phpinfo() or other debugging let me know.

I mentioned old_passwords as searching online found some mention of it in relation to the error message.

Any thoughts appreciated,
Thanks
