MariaDB [(none)]> use mysql Reading table information for completion of table and column names You can turn off this feature to get a quicker startup with -A Database changed Then if I run that command for some reason there's no jfwiki or jokefire entry in the db table: MariaDB [mysql]> select * from db where Db='jfwiki' or Db='jokefire' order by Host; Empty set (0.00 sec) For some reason another database I imported to do bacula backups has an entry in the db table: MariaDB [mysql]> select Host,Db from db; +-----------+--------+ | Host | Db | +-----------+--------+ | % | bacula | | localhost | bacula | +-----------+--------+ 2 rows in set (0.00 sec) However I'm thinking more along the lines of my php mysql client having an issue. Although I'm still a little stuck on why the wiki works without any problem and why neither my php script nor wordpress are able to connect to the db. It's really strange how that's happening!
