If you get "Connection Refused" errors for your database:
Check Connection String:
MySQL:
- Server: localhost or 127.0.0.1 (for same server)
- Port: 3306
- Username: Your database username
- Password: Your database password
MS SQL:
- Server: SQL2022-002.adaptivewebhosting.com,1443 (note the port!)
- Use the exact server name from your welcome email
Common Issues:
1. Wrong Server Address:
- Check your welcome email for correct server
- MS SQL uses non-standard ports
2. Wrong Credentials:
- Reset password in Plesk > Databases
- Verify username matches exactly
3. Remote Access Disabled:
- MySQL may be restricted to localhost
- Contact support to enable remote access
4. Firewall:
- Your IP may need to be whitelisted
