I have and existing website (http://WickedSunshine.com) with HTML content (except for PHPCounter and Coppermine Gallery) and I'm looking to branch out. After narrowing it down to TikiWiki I changed my mind to instead try Drupal on recommendation from my web hosting service (http://LaughingSquid.com).
(I would love to hear any commentary or criticism on the pros and cons of TikiWiki vs Drupal, or anything similar. Perhaps there's a good site that debates this?)
This is my first install and when I test http://www.WickedSunshine.com/Drupal/ I have the following error:
Can't connect to MySQL server on 'wickedsunshine.com' (111)
I think it may be from one of the following reasons:
A) Because I already have a site full of stuff, I have uncompressed the latest Drupal download to http://www.wickedsunshine.com/Drupal/ rather than http://www.wickedsunshine.com/. I don't really want to switch over until I have everything ready and configured.
B) This is what I have in my conf.php:
$db_url = "mysql://jasoncarswell:password@wickedsunshine.com/WickedSunshine";
C) I custom configured the Drupal database names with 'Drupal_' and adjusted my conf.php accordingly, I think:
$db_prefix = "Drupal_";
Please advise me on the error of my ways. Thank you.

Have you tried
Have you tried
$db_url = "mysql://jasoncarswell:password@localhost/WickedSunshine";
also, if you use db_prefix, you must manually edit the database.mysql file before you import it into your database. It is not automatically done during the install.

That did something. Thank you. I didn't realize that 'localhost' was not to be replaced.
However, I was expecting to have to log in.
Instead I got this page:
