I need to connect to a second database.
The following works fine on my local installation:
$newdb= new wpdb("DBUserName","Password","DatabaseName","HostName");
That immediately connects me with my non-WordPress database.
I'm not getting a connection using this code on the live site though, even though I've changed all the variables to correspond to the webhost's parameters (and I've checked against the wp-config file, too -- I'm using the same hostname that shows in the config file, so I know I've got that right).
WordPress isn't giving me anything to go on: the only error message I can get it to display has no actual message (as shown below):
WordPress database error: []
I haven't included a sitelink, since this is for a secured intranet (and I can't leave the non-functioning page visible to access for the users anyway until I can resolve this problem).
